Honeybees forage shorter distances and have higher nectar quality in #urban areas. Excellent project decoding waggle dances by @Ash_Samuelson @ElliLeadbeater1 @RHULBioSci #CEESymosium

Speaking at the #CEESymposium today about food for #bees in the city, using data from the #waggledance

A new study has found that British bumblebees fare better in cities than in the countryside.

First paper from my PhD published in @JAppliedEcology today! We show, through a meta-analysis, that pesticides negatively impact bee learning and memory, even at field realistic exposure. @ElliLeadbeater1 @sphaerularia @KorichevaLab

A really important new study from @sphaerularia and @ElliLeadbeater1 showing that buff-tailed bumblebee colonies do much better in cities and villages than in agricultural areas. #beesneeds https://t.co/uE3ZbI0UTr

@Ash_Samuelson @OregonState Recent studies that @Ash_Samuelson worked on shows that colonies located in urban areas may actually be more successful than nests located in agricultural areas. #SciFriLive

[Science Friday @scifri]

Next up! Time to dive into hive mind. @Ash_Samuelson and Ramesh Sagili @OregonState are here to give us the buzz about those complex colonies. #SciFriLive https://t.co/ncU6qoNwBZ

Great interview by @Ash_Samuelson speaking about her latest paper on the impact of urbanisation on bumblebee colonies.

In contrast to Beatrix Potter’s mice, bumblebees 🐝 are happier in cities . https://t.co/Uik8vg0PqF Great work by @Ash_Samuelson and fun to work with her and @ElliLeadbeater1 and Rich Gill @BumblebeeTrust @AgriBeeHealth @poshbee_eu

Bumblebees in cities show higher reproductive success than those in agricultural areas - new research out in PRSB today https://t.co/rDJlUtYmok

New paper just out in Ecology and Evolution presenting a protocol for land classification in pollinator ecology research, with @ElliLeadbeater1 https://t.co/IRMlg0WE04

A lovely tree bumblebee foraging yesterday at Savill garden @WindsorGtPark @BumblebeeTrust @wurflenii @Bumble_Watching

@james_gilbert @ElliLeadbeater1 Yes, I was sorry to miss you (I'm working in Portugal at the moment)! Definitely would be good to chat sometime

[Ash Samuelson @Ash_Samuelson]

Can anyone help ID this pollen sample? Collected from beehives in/around London in May 2015, common in urban but not rural areas. Please RT!

[Ash Samuelson @Ash_Samuelson]

@james_gilbert Ah this is really useful, thanks! That's another vote for alder buckthorn for the focal grain, so that's great - thanks a lot!
