Life update! I’ve been spending this summer setting up my PhD research that I’ll be continuing at @ucdavis with @CroneLiz and @WilliamsBeeLab. Stoked to explore the variation in phenology of Bombus vosnesenskii from the Sierras🏔 to the coast 🏖. Stay tuned: it varies a lot!

Amazing job alert!! Sagehen is a very special place!

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

These traps clearly catch and kill bumblebees - no doubt mistaking the blue top for a flower. I'd bet they trap tons of other pollinators too. These should be banned immediately. Awful. There is nothing "Eco" about "Ecolab Ltd"

If you're putting pesticides on your lawn, spraying around your house, or sprinkling insect killer in your garden, ....

Then please, do NOT ask me why you don't have fireflies anymore.
✨😟✨😟✨😟

Fireflies are insects. Insecticides are designed to kill insects.
