Report written by Helen
Three goodgymers met up in Castle Park to count bumblebees for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust's citizen science project. Bumblebees start emerging from hibernation around now, so we weren't expecting to see very much, especially as there isn't much in bloom yet, but much to our surprise, there were busy bumblebees in several sections of the route! We identified some queen buff-tailed bees, a few common carders, and even some worker white tails, which we will be recording on the BBCT website later. Congratulations to Luke on his first goodgym good deed, and for spotting so many bees. ๐ ๐ ๐
