The Alberta Native Bee Monitoring and Stewardship Program is a five-year, collaborative, ecosystems-based approach to monitoring and conservation of native bees in Alberta, led by the Alberta Native Bee Council (ANBC) in partnership with the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) and the National Bee Diagnostic Centre (NBDC). Province-wide monitoring of native bees will significantly improve our understanding of the diversity, abundance and ranges of native bees. This data will inform a suite of conservation, outreach and stewardship programming. The program engages a broad array of partners in an innovative approach to improving bee monitoring in Alberta.
