Learn more about The Bee Count and how you can become part of the Citizen Science Project at the free online Bee-a-thon event scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST. Join bee experts, beekeepers, and environmental experts as they give us the latest buzz on what's happening with the bees. You can log onto the event at www.yourgardenshow.com and you can also follow the Bee-a-thon on Twitter (#iseebees) and Facebook.
The Bee-a-thon kicks off the Great Bee Count, a Citizen Science campaign hosted on YourGardenShow.com in partnership with the Great Sunflower Project. They are counting bees across North America and helping shape bee conservation efforts.
Why should you care about the bees? Because the pollinators are responsible for every three bites of food and are facing challenges from colony collapse disorder and other threats. Tune in to the Bee-a-thon and get inspired to count some bees!
Hmmm...I might have to do this. We have several bees in our yard.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a lot of bees on our hillside but I certainly am willing to join in this effort. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of bees in my yard…I love seeing them because I know they help my plants by pollinating! I'll have to check out the Bee-a-thon. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I took a beekeeping class last year, but haven't gotten up the gumption to start my own hive yet. I have an abundance of hyssop in my yard and bees just love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful project! So glad you posted about it. Have you seen Queen of the Sun yet? I haven't managed, but want to see it soon.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit - I don't like them. :) But know how important they are! Will keep track of those little buggers!!
