Data from the first six years of PoMS (2017 to 2022) have been published and are available from the links below. Data for subsequent years are in preparation, and we expect the dataset for 2017–2023 to become available by December 2025.

The following acknowledgement is required for use of these datasets:

The UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (UK PoMS) is a partnership funded jointly by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) (through funding from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for Northern Ireland). UKCEH's contribution is part-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council formerly as part of the UK-SCAPE programme (award NE/R016429/1) and now as part of the NC-UK programme (award NE/Y006208/1) delivering National Capability. Between 2017 and 2021, PoMS was funded by UKCEH and Defra (England), Welsh Government, Scottish Government, DAERA (Northern Ireland), and JNCC. PoMS is indebted to the many volunteers who carry out surveys and contribute data to the scheme.
