Bee-friend your garden
Free AppAbout Bee-friend your garden
Life for pollinating insects such as bees, butterflies and moths is increasingly difficult, with many species numbers in decline. We are asking you to record the insects that visit your garden to build our understanding of which plants are most attractive to these insects. You will be participating in a Citizen Science project that will generate thousands of insect observations of the plants that pollinating insects like to visit. This app enables you to:
• Record details of the pollinating insects on your chosen plants
• Plot these results to see which of your plants is the most popular
• Upload the data to our central database
The data you gather, along with the photos you take, will be used in a research project being undertaken by the University of Sussex. The Earthwatch Institute in association with Waitrose and The Crown Estate is facilitating this research. So what are you waiting for? Bee-friend your garden!

This is a great app for capturing insects, moths, butterflies and bees. A couple of changes within the app that I would like to see, is to be able to see the data that you captured after you have upload and also the ability to change the captured data after you uploaded. Also it would be great to see from a global view of what has been captured by the community. On the whole a very good app

Conflicting data fields, poor instruction and lack of scientific input results in a cute looking app with no scientific value.

Simple to use wherever one spots pollinators at work. Has encouraged my kids to seek out bumble bees with some lovely pics uploaded.

Great idea for an app. It works fine, but would be nice to be able to view each each record in the 'my data' page so you can see exactly what details you submitted for each record. Also I cant find a link in the app to take you to the website.

Good citizen science project , but this app has not been updated since 2013 and while it still technically functions it does so inefficiently. Oddly on Android 6 I'm seeing location requests when the app is never opened thus it's draining my battery and tracking my location when not in use. Not a beat practice for optimal use and should really be rebuilt with more recent Android API targets.
