Bee Survey

Did you know that around 100 bee species are found in the North East? Let’s find out how many call Wild Ouseburn home! From bumblebees to leafcutter bees, our wilder urban spaces can support a variety of bees and pollinators. Join us in search of Ouseburn’s bees! 

You will learn how to recognise some of the bees likely to be found in your gardens and local green spaces. Along the way we will record what bees we spot together, helping to better understand how to protect and support Ouseburn’s wild bees.

Join us to discover what bees are buzzing their way through Wild Ouseburn!

This walk is ideal for beginners but all experience levels are very welcome.

We’ll be guided by Charlotte Rankin, a local naturalist with a particular passion for bees. Just across the border in Cumbria, she works in pollinator conservation for a local wildlife charity. In her spare time, she enjoys recording wildlife and volunteers for the Natural History Society of Northumbria’s Invertebrate Specialist Group.

No booking required, just meet outside of The Cycle Hub for 11am.
