Discover Life’s Video of Bee Hunt Project Data Collection Protocol


There’s a new five-minute online video describing how to take scientifically useful photographs of insects. Whether for invasive species data collection or pollinator studies, Discover Life’s video shows how to take more effective photographs in the field. Thanks to their partnership with the NBII’s Invasive Species Information Node (ISIN), all of Discover Life’s tools are free via the Web. They are rallying citizen scientists to monitor bees, fungi, lichens, ladybugs, moths, butterflies, caterpillars, and goldenrods. The video can be viewed online at the Discover Life Web site.
