Bees are under threat, especially

wild bees. Factors affecting them

include disease, loss of habitat, and

widespread use of

pesticides and fertilisers.

 

These are the focus of many current

campaigns but they do not fully explain

why bees and other pollinators are declining at such a rate even in some organic settings and nature reserves.

 

BeeAware focuses on under-

researched factors that may be harming

bees and how those factors interact, in order to build a clearer picture of what is causing their decline.

Bees are essential for our food security, but

they are also worth conserving in their

own right.

 

We collect data and evidence through

field-based research and citizen

science in a collective effort to

save this important species.
