Summary:
- This article discusses a citizen science project in Canada where over 5,000 students built and monitored "bee hotels" to study the diversity of wild bee species.
- The researchers used DNA analysis to identify the different bee species that used the bee hotels, revealing a surprising variety of bee species visiting the hotels.
- The project not only engaged students in hands-on science, but also provided valuable data to scientists about the distribution and diversity of wild bee populations in Canada.
