Recording the different pollinating insects as a function of time and location will provide an overview of the quantities of food sources available and the nesting opportunities for bumblebees, solitary bees, hoverflies and other insects, and will therefore help us to understand the extent to which the environment is favourable to pollinating insects.
The first results of our citizen science study on pollinator food sharing, collected via beeplants.eu in 2024, are now available on the Better-B website. The short and long versions of this annual report can be found on the Learning platform (under citizen science) and on the beeplants.eu citizen science webpage.
