Start taking photos now!

The warm weather is here and the bees are out! Time to start documenting.

When you see a bee – or an insect you think might be a bee – snap some photos and upload it to Your Observations. Here's a few things to keep in mind when uploading:

• List the species of your observation as "Bees (Epifamily Anthophila). Be as specific as you can (for example, Hylaeus mesillae ssp. cressoni), but at the very least list your observation as a "Bee"; it will automatically be included in the survey. Even if you're unsure of what you saw or the insect turns out not to be a bee, no worries! The community here will help identify it and make sure only bees are included in the survey.
• List the location of your observation. Make sure you include as specific location as possible; if your observation falls within the ten counties of this survey, it will automatically be included. You can always "Obscure" your location when uploading the observation to make sure the general public cannot see it. At the very least, list the county where you made the observation.
• You can also specifically add your observation to this project under the Projects drop-down menu.
