A new project hopes to build up a picture of the UK’s bumblebee population. BeeWatch has developed a tool which it hopes will collect vital information on the UK’s bees. The tool lets people upload a picture of a bee which can then be identified by an expert and the location recorded. 24 species of bumblebee are found in the UK and up to six different species are often found in each garden. I must admit I have never really looked very closely of bees but I will certainly be out with my camera taking a few shots to see which species are frequenting my garden.
