The BWAR (Bee, Wasps and Ant Recording Society!) are seeking sightings of the Tree Bee [Bombus hypnorum].

"...BWARS is continuing its long-term mapping project in 2014, in which we are plotting and monitoring the spread of Bombus hypnorum in Britain..."

It's a distinctive bee, so no tricky ID. Get the family involved and spend a few minutes helping the BWAR project.

Online submission only takes a minute to complete.

Do your bit for science.:t:

Done - they are nesting in one of my Sparrow terrace nest boxes. (I have two House Sparrow nests as well!)

Well done to those who've sent records :t:.

It's not my project, but our local "bee-man" mentionned it to me so I thought I'd spread the word as he's not on the forum. It's also an easy way to get any children in your household involved in something nature related.

I think the project is only looking for records from 2014, whilst I'm not sure about video. I had to downsize my photos to upload them so video files may be too large?

Seen them all over Kent so there would be about 50 map refs!
