Dung Beetle Post-release Survey

Thanks for being part of our dung beetle program! 
Over the past 4 years we’ve released winter dung beetles (Bubas bison) on local farms. Bubas bison are now active for 2026. Have you have seen any signs of dung beetle activity/tunnelling this year (April-September 2026)?
This information will help us target future dung beetle releases.

Thank you for your feedback!
Have you seen signs of dung beetle tunnelling on your farm this winter?
If you have seen tunnelling, how many of the dung pads do you estimate have beetle activity (tunnels) on or next to them?
Is there more winter beetle activity on your farm since we released the Bubas bison?
