Thanks @Living_North for the fantastic article on our @britishbee funded research in the #June issue

[Geog & Env Sciences @NUGeog]

Great news: @NUGeog is part of the 'One Planet' NERC doctoral training centre. That means more opportunities for PhD studentships to help understand our changing world.

.@AASPTPS @BuzzNU @MatthewJ_Pound, did you know that honeybees in northeast Argentina have a taste for native plants? Their pollen makes up the majority in bee pellets. #melissopalynology #SAPP2018

Hive Central has been interviewed by #Journalism MA students @UniofNewcastle who have produced this excellent video on #bees, #pollinators https://t.co/l2erMQtV6g

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

Pls RT: New paper shows
1) Average number of pesticide applications per field in Great Britain rose from 9.8 in 1990 to 17.4 in 2015.
2) Number of potential honeybee kills rose six fold in same period
This is based on official govt stats.

Florist & #beekeeper John Yarwood of #SaleMoor appeared in the March 1899 edition of The British Bee Journal talking about his craft. It stated 'Mr. Yarwood's apiary goes a long way towards removing the sameness inseparable of unpicturesque modern bee-hives' #bees @britishbee

#Didyouknow there are almost 38,000 beekeepers & ~220,000 hives in the UK? Our National Honey Monitoring Scheme is creating an archive of #honey samples from around the UK to try to understand the factors affecting bee health & honey yield 🐝🍯https://t.co/I4T45ERqPh #BeesNeeds
