Get involved in research with the Pharmabees team! With your help we will be developing a new system to track and monitor bee populations.

Bees and other pollinators play an essential role in supporting the plants on which life on earth depends. For a variety of reasons bee numbers and diversity are in decline. To help us determine the extent of the problem we developed the Spotabee project in which members of the public record bees sightings in their local area using a mobile phone. Since it launch in May of 2020 the site has received over 6000 images and we are keen to add to these in the coming year. While the level of engaging is encouraging a significant number of the bee images have yet to be identified to the species level. By participating in this workshop you will find out more about the vital work the university is undertaking to save the bees and will be shown how to help us give a name to these unknown bees.
