A message from BWARS' patron George McGavin
"Bees, wasps and ants are among the most important animals on the planet and are essential for the health and survival of countless other species - ourselves included. If you want to learn about them, the new BWARS website is a fantastic, authoritative and accessible on-line resource. We ignore these fascinating and indispensable creatures at our peril."
Maps, photos, life histories and more...
There is a page for each British and Irish species of bee, wasp and ant. Eventually these pages will include a detailed account for each species, with distribution maps, photos, life history, conservation status and identification tips.
You can find species accounts in three ways
- Browse through the Species Account Gallery
- Select a species from the Alphabetical Listing.
- Type a species name into the search box at the top right of any page or the search box at the top left of the Alphabetical Listing.
