By watching and recording the bees at sunflowers in
your garden, you can help understand the challenges that bees
are facing. To participate, sign up and plant your sunflower;
describe your garden; time how long it takes 5 bees to visit
your sunflower plant; enter your data online or mail the form.
By finding a way to track and value of the goods and services
provided by natural ecosystems, we will find a future in which
conservation is not a luxury but a guiding principle of daily
decision-making throughout the world. The data you collect from
your sunflowers will be a start. It will provide an insight into
how our green spaces in the urban, suburban, and rural
landscapes are connected as well as shedding light on how to
help pollinators. |
