BEE-GUARDS: a new Citizen Science activity on pollinators begins
As part of the European project BEE-GUARDS (www.bee-guards.eu), a new citizen science activity is starting, dedicated to observing interactions between plants and pollinators. The aim is to better understand how pollinators use floral resources, assess the potential effects of competition between managed and wild species, and contribute to the protection of biodiversity.
Participation is easy and quick: each observation takes between 2 and 15 minutes and can be repeated whenever you like, wherever you like, as many times as you like (the most active participants will receive a prize at the end of the project!). Every contribution helps protect the environment and safeguard all pollinators, both managed and wild.
