Volunteers around the world are taking part in a citizen science research project into bee biodiversity and decline.
The researchers involved in the Zooniverse Big-Bee Bonanza project are checking specimen labels for information on measurements and bees' locations to figure out how bees are responding to human impacts on climate, flora and other aspects of their lives.
On the research team is Rob Guralnick who's the Curator of Biodiversity Informatics at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.
He tells Susie about the honey bee population in America, which is rapidly declining, reflected in declining crop yields for produce including apples, cherries and blueberries.
