BeeBlitz gets its name from "bioblitz," an activity in which citizen scientists canvas an area and record all species of flora and fauna observed in order to provide a snapshot of the area's biodiversity. BeeSpotter wants to know what bees are out there and where they are. Snap a picture, Upload it to BeeSpotter, and Contribute to science!

June 21st is also Father's Day - take dear old dad for a walk, have a picnic in the park, or visit one of our participating BeeBlitz locations, to look for and photograph bees together. It's as easy as that to help scientists monitor bee populations here in the Midwest.
Visit the BeeSpotter website for useful tips on photographing bees. Feel free to download the BeeBlitz flier at the bottom of this page and send to anyone that you think might be interested - the more the merrier.
BeeSpotter is looking forward to your posts on June 21st!
