Welcome to the Great Sunflower Project 2024
Identifying where Pollinators Need Help.
And Helping!
We are the largest citizen science project focused on pollinators with over 100,000 members. To say thank you to our members for all you have done for pollinators, we have a present for you, Bee Identification Cards! You can download them by logging in and then clicking here. We hope you will use them in your garden this year!
- Join our flagship Great Sunflower Project Program . Plant a Lemon Queen variety sunflower and help identify the effects of pesticides on pollinators.
- Join our Pollinator Friendly Plants and Places program. Help identify the critical plants that support pollinators and regions where they thrive. Contribute a pollinator count from the plants in your yard or favorite green spaces.
- Take the Great Pollinator Habitat Challenge. Learn to evaluate and improve habitat for pollinators.
Please join us now as pollinators are flying and we are hoping to get many 2024 counts! You can register here. Basic instructions can be found on a video here and the Quick start guide. Data sheets are under Downloads. If you are concerned about using neonicotinoid pesticides in your gardens, here is a link to a list of the products that you can buy in many garden shops that contain neonicotinoid pesticides.
As always, thanks for participating!
