Current and Recent Projects

The Urban Bee Lab is involved with many projects throughout the state, and even a few in Costa Rica!  From presentations to garden clubs, to workshops on bee identification, we span the state promoting the conservation of native bees and all pollinators.  

Here is a short list of projects we are currently working on (whether it be in the stage of data evaluation or collection).  Please see the drop down boxes under "Current and Recent Projects" for more detailed information on a few of our big projects.

Collecting data:
 - UC Hopland Healthy Soils: a collaboration with the UC Hopland Research & Extension Center to evaluate hedgerow pollination
 - Ventura Avocado Farms: collaboration with various avocado farms in SoCal to determine pollinators of avocados

Organizing and analyzing data:
 - Oxford Tract Bee-Flower Evaluation Garden:  visit to see the latest plants we are using to study plant-pollinator interactions!
 - California Statewide Survey: 15 cities provide sites for urban native bee survey work where we search for 31 target plant types
 - Farming for Native Bees:  collaborating with farmers, we encourage native bees on farms through bee-attractive plantings
 - The Sonoma Bee Count:  a 10 yr study and citizen initiated project monitoring native bees in Sonoma, CA
 - The Costa Rica Bee Project: urban and wildland bee surveys in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica

We also are involved various outreach projects, such as workshops on native bees and helping with the creation of pollinator gardens. 
 
 - Workshops:  several workshops each year provide citizens with knowledge of native bee biology and ecology
 - Garden Installations:  we help build and modify bee gardens at schools, private residences, and many botanic gardens
