The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is a citizen science project led by the University of Georgia Extension, open to residents of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. Each August, participants choose a blooming plant in their garden or community space and observe it for 15 minutes, recording the number and types of insects that visit. This simple process—watch, count, and submit—helps build a long-term picture of pollinator health across the Southeast. The census has three main goals: sustainable habitat by promoting plants that nourish pollinators and withstand summer droughts, entomological literacy so participants can identify and understand insects, and useful data to track trends in pollinator populations, including the effects of weather and honey bee activity on native bees.
