Bumblebees are beautiful, hard working and incredibly important pollinators. The UK has 25 species, but sadly 3 are nationally extinct, and many more are seriously threatened. Join today and help us to conserve bumblebees for future generations to enjoy.

"Now that alarm bells have been both rung and heard, and most of our declining species have attracted the attention of official bodies, academic researchers and amateur naturalists, the question remains: what is to be done?" Prof. Ted Benton - Bumblebees (New Naturalist)

To halt the recent dramatic declines, we urgently need to improve habitats. Everyone can play their part - gardeners, farmers, land managers, councils and governments can all help.

This website is packed with useful information, and includes pages to help you identify bumblebees, advice on how to garden or farm in a sensitive way, and surveys which you may like to take part in. We hope you enjoy the site.
