The Alberta Native Bee Council is a non-profit organization that was established in 2017 by native bee researchers, conservationists, and enthusiasts. The catalyst for forming the Council was the need for good, up-to-date science-based information on native bees in Alberta, the need for increased native bee monitoring efforts, and the demand for outreach.
