The UK Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society (BWARS) is a subscription based amateur recording society, operating under the aegis of the UK Biological Records Centre (BRC). The Society is affiliated to the British Entomological and Natural History Society. The Society aims to promote the recording of aculeate Hymenoptera in Great Britain and Ireland, and to foster links with similar societies and interested individuals throughout Europe. There are about 400 members (including museum and university professionals and overseas “Corresponding Members”) whose activities are directed by a small committee which guides policy. The Society exists to gather distribution and biological data on the aculeate hymenoptera (which includes many important pollinators), to provide advice and training to society members and the general public, and to promote understanding of aculeates. The Society has no conservation remit, and is prepared to make its data freely available to anyone who wants access to it – this includes conservation agencies (both statutory and voluntary), University researchers, pollination ecologists, taxonomists, planners and developers. ...
