About BTO British Trust for Ornithology
BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) is a brand that focuses on watching, recording, and supporting bumblebees. They understand the importance of these charming insects and offer various ways to get involved. Many birders switch to observing invertebrates during high summer, and bumblebees are a popular choice due to their interesting life history and vibrant colors.
Although they may seem challenging to identify at first, with practice and care, they can be just as enjoyable to watch as birds. BTO's Garden BirdWatch program allows you to monitor bumblebees in your own garden, contributing valuable data and helping researchers understand their behavior and needs in a changing climate. By creating bee-friendly gardens with suitable nesting spaces and a variety of flowers, we can encourage bumblebees to thrive.
BTO also offers identification tips to help you recognize different species. Join BTO and be a part of the effort to protect and support these important pollinators
