Returning March '26
​The Pollinator Project is Ireland's largest & longest running school pollinator education programme. For 2026, we're again delighted to partner with SIRO, Ireland’s 100% fibre broadband network, connecting communities across Ireland.
Now in its 15th year, the project works with schools across Ireland to train young people as pollinator ambassadors & assist in delivering bee-positive actions such as creating 'no-mow' meadows and remove spraying in their schools. To date we have trained almost 34,000 pollinator ambassadors. This year we have kits to reach an additional 5,000 students.

Why are we doing this
Ireland is home to around 100 species of bee: solitary, bumble and honey. While our honey bees are not at risk, our wild ones (bumble, solitary) are in serious trouble.
​
One in three species are now threatened with extinction in Ireland.
​
The importance of such insects to our food system is astonishing with 90% of world food supply dependent on insect pollination. Without bees and their friends world food supply would collapse. So it’s kind of important to look after them!
