Spot Wild Bees to Save Irish Honey Bees | Galway News
Description
Honey bees aren’t just for beekeepers—wild colonies are vanishing in Ireland, and scientists need YOU to help track them. Native Irish black bees, perfectly adapted to our climate, face threats from imported bees, climate change, and shrinking habitats. Researchers in Galway have found over 190 wild colonies but need more data to understand how managed hives affect them. Report any bee nests, hives, or foraging sightings to help build a map of bee activity—and shape conservation strategies that protect these vital pollinators across the country.
