Researchers at University of Galway have called on people to support the monitoring of more than 500 wild and native honey bee colonies, to mark World Bee Day on Monday.

The team of academics at the Galway Honey Bee Research Centre will  use the data being recorded and reported about the free-living bees as part of efforts to devise better strategies for their conservation.
