The Ivy Bee, Colletes hederae, was seen for the first time in the UK in southern England 2001. This year sightings of the species are being reported from the Sefton Coast. It is likely that the species is present at other suitable sites in the local area so keep your eyes open
Are you interested in getting outside in the sunshine and helping us increase our records of pollinators? Do you own a camera or camera phone? If so, come and join us for a training and information evening for a new project!
Increasing urbanisation is greatly affecting our pollinators and we are aiming to collect data on the role urban areas are playing in supporting these important invertebrates.
