We are recruiting volunteers in Colorado to collect and submit data on bees visiting your backyard flowers. We are collecting ecological data and social science data on adult learning. Training • Register here: https://forms.gle/CURzdRo8P4T15Nok9. Zoom information will be emailed to all participants the day before the training. • If you can’t attend the training but they would like to participate, email [email protected]. Collecting and Submitting Data • At a minimum, we are asking volunteers to visit each flowering plant in their backyard twice a month at minimum or for a maximum of once per week in their backyard. They will set a timer and observe each flowering plant for 2 minutes. During that two-minute period, they will record any bees visiting the plant. • Electronic versions of a field guide and training materials are provided to each participant for reference. • We will continue learning and communicating throughout the summer via emails, newsletters, fielding questions, and possibly a private Facebook group to build community among participants. • Data will be submitted via an a phone app or desktop computer. The Community Science Biodiversity Project is sponsored by City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department’s Nature in the City Program and Colorado State University’s Extension Office.
