Surveying pollinators and other plant visitors is intended to help local entomologists and global conservation scientists. Continuous phenology and population data are lacking. The information that we record help fill the gap. We run this program across multiple locations in the Greater Boston area.
Collecting such data is an important scientific effort that helps us better understand the collapse of insect populations, which is being observed throughout the world. This kind of data is critical to understanding the implications on avian populations, other fauna at large, and our species (e.g., food security). A better understanding will lead to better societal actions and policies.
