Strictly for the bees

Wild flowers grown for research at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales, as part of the Bar Coding Project. Quote: We are currently using Barcode UK to support our pollinator research, looking at where our honey bees are foraging, what plants hoverflies are visiting, as well as finding out the floral source of honeys. We are developing bioinformatic resources to support DNA barcoding. Our DNA barcodes are also being used to understand pollen movement for hay fever sufferers and to help understand plant community structure."
