Arkansas Bumblebee Survey
Bumblebees are among the most familiar and important pollinators in Arkansas. From native plants to agricultural crops, bumblebees provide an irreplaceable service that maintains native biodiversity and puts food on our plates.
The Arkansas Bumblebee Survey was a citizen-science based project aimed at examining the distribution of bumblebees across the state. Although the survey period has ended, materials for identifying bee species are still available in the Bumblewatchers Tool Kit. You can be one of the many Arkansans to assist with the survey by studying a bumblebee habitat near you.
Disclaimer: Bumblebees are capable of delivering a venomous sting. Caution should be exercised in the presence of any stinging insect. Participation in the survey is voluntary. The Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission assumes no responsibility or liability for any injuries sustained by individuals participating in this survey.
