We need your help to learn more about ground-nesting bees! 🐝

Many of us might be used to seeing bees living in hives, but actually 70% of bee species nest in the ground! Surprised? There’s a lot we don’t know about these beautiful animals. Which is why the Ground-Nesting Bees project needs your help! By documenting these bees and their nests, we can learn how to provide and conserve the right nesting habitats.
