“Thank you so much for selecting me for this award and for your contribution to my college fund!  I decided to enter in the science fair last spring during the pandemic because I wanted something to do over the summer and I’ve always been interested in science.  Because of this experiment, this past year has been fun and challenging.  I’ve learned how to approach a science experiment from designing to analysis and poster-making.  Thank you for encouraging the beginning of my science career by giving me this award!”

Shuttterbee! Community Action Backyard Bee Photography to Improve Conservation Practices

July 1 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Your Backyard! Greater St. Louis Bi-State Region, United States

Feeling shut in? Ready for Spring? Get out with Shutterbee! in this yearly Community Action science collaboration to document bee diversity and inform conservation strategies in the St. Louis region. OPEN to ALL area nature and conservation enthusiasts 12 years and up.

Registration for training and participation in Shutterbee required! Click registration link below.

Join the team! Our citizen scientists photograph bees every two weeks in a location of their choosing and upload their observations to iNautralist. Our research team then identifies the bees and plants in the photographs and uses those data to test hypotheses regarding bee diversity and behavior. We share our results and related information regularly through newsletters, seminars, and social media posts.

Every spring, we enroll and train new participants; if you are interested, REGISTER HERE or email shutterbee@webster.edu. You will receive 3-4 hours of training and join a wonderful community of bee enthusiasts!

Details and additional resources on photographing and identifying bees and helping pollinators can be found on the Shutterbee website.
