About the event
Great Southeast Pollinator Census
There are three main goals for the census:
1. To create sustainable pollinator habitat by educating gardeners about using plants that provide nutrition for our pollinators while handling our summer droughts and do not have disease or pest insect pressure.
2. To increase the entomological literacy of our citizens. As I mentioned to one teacher, we want students to go from “oooo, it’s a bug” to “look at the tarsal claw on that bee!”
3. To generate useful data about our pollinator populations, so we can begin to spot trends and see how pollinator populations are affected by weather and how honey bees influence native bee populations.
This year's counts will be held anytime from August 22nd to August 23rd. We hope you'll find some flowers, pull up a data sheet, and join the fun!
