More Information
Some bee populations have experienced severe declines that may affect food production. However, nobody has ever measured how much pollination is happening over a region, much less a continent, so there is little information about how a decline in the bee population can influence gardens.
The Great Sunflower Project makes it easy to gather this information. Find a plant (such as a Lemon Queen Sunflower), observe it for 5 or more minutes and record all pollinators that visit, and contribute data online. You can make as many observations as you want while your flowers are in bloom. It’s that easy!
Optional: This project is part of a kit (https://scistarter.org/citizen-science-kit-observing-pollinators) that may be available at your local library (https://scistarter.org/library-locations)!
