Welcome, fellow Washingtonians and friends of the Upper Left!

Whether you are a longtime entomologist or a beginning naturalist, we are glad to meet you. This is a place to geek out on our beautiful Washington bees. Please have a look around and see what everybody is finding here.

This is a “collection project” rather than a “traditional project” which means that observations made in Washington State of native bees are automatically added by iNaturalist. If your bee has been added to a project, the project name will appear in a list in the “Projects” section in the right sidebar of your observation, in one of the boxes below the map.

We encourage you to add data to make your bee observation more useful:
To add the name of the flower the bee was visiting, click on “Observation Fields” on the lower right, type in “Associated species with names lookup,” and type in or select the flower name.

In the notes or comments, add a short description of any behavior you observed.

Example 1: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65460423
Example 2: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65444191

About 600 native bee species are known to occur in WA; you can check how many of these we’ve observed in the “Species” count under the banner.
