Nest Quest Survey
This is the primary survey that you will use while you are visiting your plot. You will record your site, date of visit, and some general habitat information (temperature, wind speed, air quality, blooming plants). This form will also track your path as you meander through your plot looking for nests.

Check back SOON for a video that demonstrates how to use this form!
Nest Discovery Form
This form you will use if you discover a nest during your survey. IF you find a nest, pause your timer to complete this form. It is collecting information on nest location, if you found the nest during your survey and within your plot or incidentally (i.e. on your walk back to your car), and some other observational questions.

In addition to filling out this form, you will need to upload the nest sighting to BumbleBeeWatch.org. Please notify program leaders when you find a nest!
OPTIONAL: Nest Monitoring Form
Once nests have been found, we are interested in doing some additional monitoring. Monitoring can happen after a Nest Quest survey. You will spend 20 minutes observing the nest. This is recording information like how many bees are coming and going, if there are signs of predation, and more.
