Abstract
FIT Count (Flower-Insect Timed Counts) is a citizen science initiative that seeks to monitor
flower visitation by diverse pollinator groups, including bumblebees, stingless bees,
honeybees, flies, hummingbirds, among others. The protocol entails determining a 50 x 50
cm plot area around a target plant species, photographing the plant and conducting a
standardized 10-minute survey on this area to estimate the frequency of flower visits by
different pollinator groups. Conducting FIT Counts in different habitats and locations
produces data on the temporal and spatial dynamics of these interactions.
