Project Abstract
Wild bee communities provide critical agricultural pollination services. The �Let It Bee� biodiversity project started in Roscommon in 2020 to encourage Irish farmers to change their agricultural practice by training farmers as beekeepers and creating awareness of the damage that pesticides do to our local water sources and biodiversity. The proposed �Bee Well� project will interview farmers to provide crucial information on the impact of the �Let It Bee� project on their personal, family and community wellbeing. The results will provide an important building block for expanding this project nationally and to help further promote biodiversity and water awareness.
