About

Wild Honey Bee

The National University of Ireland, Galway  are studying the wild* honey bees in Ireland, trying to discover the number and distribution of their colonies in order to devise strategies for its conservation. We have some promising preliminary data from a launch of the project in 2015 (see below) and we are now working with the National Biodiversity Data Centre, seeking the help of citizen scientists to extend the study and discover what wealth of wild honey bees we have.

*Also referred to as feral, free-living or unmanaged
