Welcome to Honey Bee Watch

An International Coalition to Protect Survivor Colonies

We are an international coalition centered around honey bees — and people like you. As a citizen-science participant who contributes data on honey bees, you'll help us to better understand the biological, behavioral, and environmental traits that favor survivorship of free-living colonies. 

With this mapping platform we aim to collect reports on nests of free-living Apis mellifera colonies around the world. This is the first step for identifying potential self-sustaining wild populations. As we go along we intend to build further features into this platform to also collect other kinds of data, like monitoring observations for instance. Our aim is to increase scientific knowledge about wild honey bees, potentially leading to educational programs, conservation campaigns, and even more sustainable beekeeping practices that eventually engage and inspire the wider public to act locally to protect threatened populations. We appreciate your participation.
