Reporting your sightings of winter bumblebees 2016/17
BWARS is continuing its long-term project throughout the winter of 2016-2017, in which we are plotting and monitoring the spread and behaviour of winter active Bombus species in Britain.
If you have any records of either Bombus terrestris or B. pratorum between 1 November 2016 and 1 March 2017, please submit the full details via this online recording platform. There is a facility for uploading photographs to support records if you have them. Please use the boxes below to provide information on numbers, sexes, flower visitation, behaviour and nest sites, and include any additional information in the "Comment" section.
