Key things to remember before submitting data:
  1. Make sure you set Project to your corresponding Atlas project. This generates an area to enter your habitat assessment​.
  2. Submitting a Point Survey: You will submit to Bumble Bee Watch once - one bumble bee survey and one habitat assessment form.
  3. Submitting a Roadside Survey: You will submit to Bumble Bee Watch five times - one bumble bee survey and one habitat assessment per roadside stop.
  4. If you did not observe bumble bees during your survey, complete the first section using your habitat data and click Save. When you are asked to upload bee photos, you may close the window without uploading anything. Your habitat data will be saved.
