BeeWalk is the national recording scheme for bumblebees, allowing us to monitor the abundance of bumblebee species across Great Britain. Volunteer BeeWalkers walk a fixed transect, once a month between March and October, recording the number of each bumblebee species seen. Anyone with basic bumblebee knowledge can become a BeeWalker, once you have chosen a route, you can set up the transect on the BeeWalk website (www.beewalk.org.uk) and submit data from your surveys. The data generated is vital to monitor how populations are changing through time, acting as an early warning system of declines. BeeWalk wouldn’t be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who take part, if you are interested in joining the scheme please visit the BeeWalk website or email beewalk@bumblebeeconservation.org.
Charles Mitchell is a supporter of Beewalk and will be doing a monthly walk. Anyone interested is welcome to join him.
Or else sign up and do your own walk. Charles is doing the walk along the estuary from St Martins through Lower Delacorse and back through the fields and wood to Dylans Boathouse.
