Hymettus Ltd. – Conservation of British & Irish Hymenoptera

I was checking the BWARS website for 2009 events and found a link to Hymettus, a website for the conservation of British and Irish Hymenoptera.

They have conservation information sheets for bumble bees, a grassland cuckoo bee (Nomada armata) and a saltmarsh bee (Colletes halophilus). These information sheets contain some general biology, the conservation status and global and local distribution. They also have reports which cover a range of species.

If you’re interested in insect conservation or Hymenoptera then you should have a look at the website.
