Welcome to the BWARS website - help us improve it further

An 116 year wait is over....

To celebrate the launch of its new website, BWARS is extremely pleased to offer the previously unpublished text for Bees of Britain as a free download. This provides the first significant work about Britain's Bees since 1896! It will be an essential aid to anyone wishing to study native bees in Britain and further afield.

Our thanks go to members Robin Williams, Mike Edwards and the team of authors for working so tirelessly to complete this important project.

To celebrate the creation of BWARS' new website, we are launching another round of a survey to monitor the spread and colonisation of Bombus hypnorum (aka tree bumblebee) across Britain and Ireland.

The content of this website is the work of many dedicated individuals who have contributed hours of their own time freely and willingly over many years.
