Where are the Bees?
Coming Soon!
Over the next month, we will be building a map here that has dots for participants. In an ideal world, the color of the dot would change ( something like red if >30 minutes, orange if >15, yellow if >10, light green if>5 and dark green if 0-5 minutes) depending on the data that they've entered. This will let you see how your garden compares to all the others around you!

We already have some sunflowers in bloom (but have not seen any bees) and I am looking forward to recording our data. Hopefully we will all help to make a difference.

This is such a great idea. I have heard about the declining bee population, and always wondered how it affected my area. I noticed an abbundance of bees in my garden last year, a contrary to other places. I am excited to share my results with everyone as the season progresses. Thanks a lot.

Bee Sworm
Riding my bike yesterday at the San Pablo National Seashore right by Sears Point Raceway on HWY 37. Less than half mile out the trail was a massive bee sworm of honey bees. If an individual had an empty hive they're probably still there although dimishing and handable. I moved in close for a picture with my cellphone but it doesn't seem to have come out. I hate to think of those guys dying out there due to a lack of available hive, but ......
