C.S.I. Pollen international:

CSI Pollen is a Task force of the honey bee research association COLOSS that aims to better understand pollen diversity that is available to honey bees in Europe. Currently more than 15 countries are represented in the study, which employs ca. 700 beekeepers to act as citizen scientists by collecting corbicular pollen regularly during the foraging season. The study was conducted in 2014 and 2015. We will update you here with the results!

Learn more about national projects and coordinators of C.S.I. Pollen in the Video section! Have a look at some pictures taken by citizen scientists!
