UK wasp population fluctuates due to spring weather and climate change, with citizen science projects aiding conservation efforts.
UK's wasp population faces fluctuation due to spring weather conditions, with cold and wet springs making foraging difficult for wasp queens. Citizen science projects like the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme and the Bees, Wasps, Ants Recording Scheme encourage public participation in observing wasps and providing data to help understand and conserve these vital ecosystem contributors. Climate change and land use changes also impact wasp populations.
