YourGardenShow.com is calling all gardeners, new and seasoned, to participate in animportant Citizen Science effort to track cycles of nature and identify new trends that can make a difference worldwide. This includes counting bees across North America!

Whether you're a gardener, a nature walker or a nature watcher, you can help researchers address the global bee crisis and uncover why our nation's most important pollinators appear to be disappearing.

Or choose from several other Citizen Science initiatives. Our observations help scientists track the cycles of nature and more. And if you're a gardener, there's a free online garden log, or GLOG, where you can track your garden progress just in time for the 2011 season.

Joining is free and the benefits are far-reaching. Just step outside door - it's that simple - to add to the growing buzz of Citizen Scientists, acting locally to make a real difference worldwide.

Bee curious. Bee aware. Bee a good neighbor. Pass the word.
