What’s that bumblebee is a great way to engage with and identify the UK’s 8 most common bumblebees. The app uses augmented reality, illustrations, images and species details to create a simple and accessible tool for all ages (Augmented reality is only available on compatible devices). There are 24 species of bumblebee in the UK but the vast majority of the bumblebees you see in a garden or park will be one of the 8 most common bumblebees featured in the app. This educational app is brought to you by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, a UK charity dedicated to creating a world in which bumblebees are thriving and valued. The app was created with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
