Beautiful metallic green orchid #bee (Euglossa sp.) stealing wax from our Melipona hives! She lands, chews off a hunk, takes flight and passes it back, leg pair to leg pair, packing it on her rear legs before going back for more. Mesmerising

Fantastic afternoon learning about mushrooms on a Fungal Foray with the incredibly charming and knowledgeable @markwildfood. The tipples and bento box were flavour sensations. Cheers!
@TimMeek8 @CanopyRobin @StirBES Sorry to disappoint you Tim, but that in your photo is not an acorn but an oak gall. The only thing you'll grow from that is an oak gall wasp. Wonder if that changes you're lovely sentiment about us?
Massive thank you to @ZarahPattison and Heather Whitney for being my viva examiners last week, and @EileenTisdall for chairing. You made it a very enjoyable, productive and memorable experience. Cheers!
