The Great Yellow Bumblebee EIP was a pilot agri-environmental project, which ran for one year. The EIP sought to improve the abundance of native flowers on Irish farmlands to benefit the endangered Great Yellow Bumblebee and other pollinators. The project worked with 27 farmers on the Mullet Peninsula and Erris Coastal Mainland in Co Mayo, Ιρλανδία, during 2022.

This partnership with farmers was vital to success of project.
