How do you tell a bee from a bee? Future pollinator monitoring experts are being trained at the Department of Zoology
Published: Friday 6.6.2025
At the Faculty of Science, Charles University, a bee identification course is currently taking place as part of the European Pollinator Identification Courses (EPIC) project. The training is coordinated by Jakub Straka from the Department of Zoology. Its aim is to teach participants how to identify individual bee genera and species so that they can subsequently monitor the status (abundance and species diversity) of pollinators. The project is part of the EU's ambitious commitment to reverse pollinator decline by 2030.
