Wild Nationalpark Bees - Landscape Analysis

Different studies document a severe decline of wild bees in the last decades.The aim of our project is to obtain information on the distribution and population development of wild bees in Austrian national parks by collecting data systematically.In terms of methodology, the project ties in with the ongoing project " Monitoring wild bees in Austria", which is surveying the diversity of wild bees in the cultivated landscape in over 200 test areas distributed throughout Austria. National parks are hereby linked to the Austrian monitoring programme with the indicator wild bees. In a first survey round (2024), the status quo of wild bees will be documented at selected sites in the Austrian national parks.
