The UK's bumblebees are in crisis
Bumblebees are familiar and much-loved insects that pollinate our crops and wildflowers, so people are rightly worried. With disappearing nature corridors, urgent action is needed to provide habitat and protect their populations.
Over the past century, our bumblebee populations have crashed.
Two species have become extinct and several others are declining dramatically.
Bumblebee-bagging in the Cairngorms
This spring and summer, we’re asking the outdoor community to help us better understand how the rare Blaeberry bumblebee is faring in the Cairngorms National Park. Could you be the first to bag-a-bumblebee in these hills?
Help us to count the UK's bumblebees by becoming a BeeWalker
Bumblebees are declining across the UK and to better understand the reasons why, and what we can do to help, we need data – lots of data – on where we can find the remaining bumblebees, how many there are, and what they’re doing.
Our Volunteering Community
Would you like to make a positive contribution to the conservation of bumblebees, wildflowers and the many other parts of our natural world that depend on bumblebees? You’ll make like-minded friends and directly contribute to the protecting our charismatic bumblebee.
