World Bee Count
ORMN Project Contact: Charlene Uhl - chu(at)sycamoregrove.farm
Project Background
The World Bee Count is a global pollinator-monitoring initiative to inform and implement actions to improve pollinator habitats, create more sustainable ecosystems and improve food security by establishing a globally-coordinated monitoring program for key pollinator groups. The specific purpose of the World Bee Count is to build an open repository of citizen science data that can be used to help pollinators. Data will be collected and shared by the Center for Analytics Research and Education at Appalachian State University. https://beescount.org
