Delighted to see our @poshbee_eu work with @BuzzNicholson and @MajRundlof cited in the Guardian 🤩 And I couldn't agree more! https://t.co/x6zABpjG3d

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

Abstract submission for the @RoyEntSoc annual conference #Ento24 is open!

Opportunities to present (in person and online) your work to the entomological community.

Abstract deadline: 17:00 (BST), Friday 14 June

“Changing farming practices is a challenge, but transformation is already happening and much more is possible.” - Ecologist @JessKnapp24 advocates for a nuanced approach to #pesticidereduction that empowers farmers to innovate in @ConversationUK

Pesticides can be sustainably reduced, but this requires an approach that reconciles the seemingly conflicting goals of food production, environmental protection, biodiversity and human health. https://t.co/0Z2Z3mbQYi

Our work on how bumble bee colonies are affected by landscape pesticide exposure is out in the current issue along with other interesting paper on related “Insects at risk” topics, though the bumble bee on the cover is really weird looking… https://t.co/YyeiffKWij

What a fantastic idea! Particularly looking forward to using the one on mutualisms and facilitation 🌻🐝

Last field day with @TCD_NatSci colleagues and friends in Gran Canaria 🌵🌴🐝

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

@deepa_sena @biouea @ueaceec @JenGill3 @Bill_Sutherland @UniRdg_SAPD @UniRdg_Research I did that masters too! Have a lovely time 😊

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

Beautiful first day with @TCD_NatSci Botany students in Gran Canaria. Today elevational differences in vegatetation, tomorrow, land use (and insects!)

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

So much fun teaching @TCD_NatSci #Entomology students some of the methodology behind our papers. Here we're dissecting bumblebee colonies just like we did in our recent @Nature paper. Yes we found males 🐝 and yes we're sticky 🍯 https://t.co/CppNKXbm6d

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

Always a pleasure to have a visit from @collieennis and his beautiful arthropods. This one even managed to sneak its way into my Entomology course, and happily, because look how cool it is! 🤩

@EdStrawBio Looooads at Cabinteely today, especially on the crocuses 👑🐝

Pesticides are currently harming bees across Europe. My @beejournal summary of Nicholson et al. 2023 @Nature with @BuzzNicholson @JessKnapp24 @sphaerularia @JaneCStout @MajRundlof . Impressively rigorous and impactful study on this topic. 📷:@MajRundlof

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

This piece is already proving its timeliness given the fiasco of the EU Green Deal right now. The targets and their pathways weren't perfect (or even fully formed), but we need progression for people and biodiversity, not regression 🚜🐝

[Charlie Nicholson @BuzzNicholson]

Together with @JessKnapp24 & @MajRundlof we discussed our recent research (👇🏻) and the state of pesticide regulation with @ConversationUK

"If our loved ones are in ill-health, at risk of collapse, we’d do everything in our power to help them recover. We need to do the same for the rest of life on earth": Astute comment piece on biodiversity by @JaneCStout in today's Irish Times https://t.co/whGmMJNpxs

[Jess Knapp @JessKnapp24]

Delighted to see our @Nature paper in the @ConversationUK 🐝🐝 Pesticides are stunting bumblebees across Europe 🐝 🐝 Could this be the future of monitoring pesticides and their effects on non-target species? We hope so. https://t.co/x6Zz0PmK50

[Ed Straw @EdStrawBio]

In case (like me) you missed the Irish Pollinator Research Network meeting, here's the low-down on what went down! Some really cool science.

@HibernoGruppe @sphaerularia Congratulations @sphaerularia! What fabulous news 👏

[The New Lede @thenewledenews]

🐝 Pesticide use continues to harm bumblebees, underscoring the need for more oversight.

These findings follow the @Europarl_EN’s failure to pass legislation that aimed to halve the use of pesticides by 2030.
