Feeling shut in? Get out with Shutterbee!

A joint project between Dr. Nicole Miller-Struttmann and Billiken Bee Lab’s Nina Fogel are getting people out of their houses, into their yards, and exploring the bees around them.

The goals of the project are to understand how landscape features and land management decisions affect bee diversity and behavior. Participants are asked to photograph bees in their backyards for 30 minutes, every two weeks. In return, they get access to training, including site visits to help implement their first beeblitz, a bee ID camp, and end of the season celebration with the entire ShutterBee community. Registration for 2020 is currently closed, but they plan to have a second round of training session in the Spring of 2021.
