Helen has a BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation (Plymouth) , MSc Applied Ecology (Exeter). Her main interests lie in pollinator behaviour and ecology. Helen first became interested in pollinators during her undergraduate degree where she studied the foraging behaviour of bumblebees in agricultural field margins. More recently she played a key role in the Urban Pollinators project which you can find out more about through the link above.

Explain why this research is important to you?

Flower-visiting insects, such as bees, hoverflies and butterflies, are important pollinators of wild flowers and crop plants. However these insects are declining. If everyone who has a garden, allotment or balcony can plant flowers that are good sources of pollen and nectar we can increase the food supply for bees and other pollinating insects. To do this though, we need to know how much pollen and nectar different garden plant species contain at the flower and the whole plant level.

What you are trying to discover through your research?

We would like to know which garden plants provide the best sources of pollen and nectar for pollinating insects. This will enable us to help gardeners and urban land managers maximise the amount of food provision for pollinating insects. Insect pollinators are under threat but we can help them by planting flowers that provide good sources of pollen and nectar throughout the whole year. Pollen and nectar data collected for garden plants will be combined with existing data for the most common wild plants to create a list of the top plant species to grow for pollinators.

What will the results tell us?

Data already collected show that the amount of nectar and pollen produced can vary greatly between the wild plant species commonly found in the countryside. We expect garden plants closer to their native form to provide greater quantities of nectar and pollen than highly bred cultivars. We have collected data on the insect species that visit garden plants and expect more frequently visited plants to produce greater quantities of pollen and nectar.

If you exceed your funding goal briefly explain what else you would do?

Achieving the funding goal will allow us to sample 100 common garden plants, however there are hundreds of species and varieties grown in gardens. Exceeding our funding goal will fund more field assistants and allow more species to be sampled, thus providing better information to gardeners. We will also create an app that gardeners can use to select pollinator friendly plants at different times of the year.

When you reach your goal when do you plan to start?

February 2015 to prepare to start sampling flowers from March onwards, we need to be ready to go when the first flowers start to blossom.

How Campaigns Work

Campaign Owners register as members on Crowd.Science.
Campaign Owners register their Campaign on Crowd.Science for approval by Crowd.Science.
Crowd.Science moderators assess the Campaign.

All funds are collected for Campaign Owners from Campaign Funders through the Stripe online payment service.
Campaign Funds are then transferred into the Campaign Owner for the Campaign Owner to then transfer into their Nominated Account in line with their university policy.
Science collects and transfers these pledged funds to the Campaign Owner at the Campaign Deadline if the campaign goal has been reached.

Campaign Owner and Campaign Funder Obligation

By launching a Campaign on Crowd.Science, the Campaign Owner agrees that all funds raised will be used for conducting the research proposed in their campaign.
If more funds are raised than the goal specified, the Campaign Owner must use the funding for conducting related research or refund the excess to the backers.
As a Campaign Owner, Campaign Funder or member you accept and agree that Crowd.Science is not responsible for the transfer of funds after Crowd.Science has transferred funds to the Campaign Owner.
Crowd.Science is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between backers and researchers or between site members and any third party
Crowd.Science does not oversee the performance or punctuality of projects.
Crowd.Science cannot be held liable for the actions of a researcher, researchers are wholly responsible for fulfilling obligations both implied and stated in any project listing they create.
[Funders] It is solely your choice to contribute to a project and contributing to a project does not give you any rights in or to that project
[Funders] Any perks offered to you are between you and the researcher only and Crowd.Science does not guarantee that they will be of satisfaction to you.

Reward Descriptions may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures, videos, photographs and other content relevant to the sale of that Reward.
Rewards must accurately and completely describe the item(s) or experiences on offer. If the available quantity of the Reward is more than one or unlimited, all items and/or experiences listed in that Reward tier must be identical.
Each unique Reward must have its own listing as a new Reward.
All Campaign Owners are urged to outline seller policies for their Campaigns. These policies may include, for example, shipping, returns, payment and selling policies.
Campaign Owners must create reasonable policies in good faith and must abide by such policies. All seller policies must comply with Crowd.Science’s site-wide policies.
Campaign Owners are responsible for enforcing their own reasonable seller policies.
