Bee Pasture
Diverse bee pasture is the key to healthy bees.
We are looking for volunteers to help us develop this database. Your help is greatly needed and appreciated. We are looking to add pictures of pollen to the system so one can get a picture of what plants the bees are collecting from the environment. This will help users to find out what plants are in the area of the hive, and how many. This data is very useful in planning plantings to provide forage over the course of the year.
We are also looking to add data on the effects of pollen on bee health. A spin-off of this is the medicinal use for humans and other animals.
