I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of "Science Scope", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the section, "Citizen Science" written by Jill Nugent. She wrote an article entitled, "'Participate in Pollinator Science This Season with Bumble Bee Watch."

Spring and summer serve as a rewarding time for students to survey pollinator biodiversity. In fact, the month of June is known as pollinator month, making this a natural time of the year to incorporate pollinator science in your classroom. Bumble Bee Watch is a collaborative project focused on tracking North American Bumble Bees. To learn more, visit the project website at:
