MANHATTAN ( KSNT ) – Now that summer is in full swing, you may see pollinators sneaking into your pools.

A Kansas State University assistant professor of Entomology is looking to collect bees from pool filters for a new study. Brian Spiesman is looking to determine what attracts bees to pools while considering bee populations.

27 News spoke with Spiesman about his research plan.

“We’re really interested in seeing how pools in different areas of the of the community might attract different bees in different ways,” Spiesman said. “Maybe what kinds of flowers they have in their yards and things like that. Yeah, it’ll be really helpful for us to help track bee populations.”

Spiesman also told us that Kansas is home to 400 different kinds of bees.
