Past Events
Thank you to everyone who participated in the B.E.E. BioBlitz! Many of the observations are already research grade and have been identified so we are very grateful for all the participation!
The iNaturalist app is a free tool for people looking to record wildlife. Through the steps of observation and identification the data collected can be used by scientists in their studies of the natural world. In this case the data we collect will not only raise awareness in the community but also be able to be used by scientists doing research on bee populations.
