@WaywardBee @LivingBeeing It really is!
We spend a lot of our time speaking to schools explaining why Honeybees are NOT good in schools (seems strange coming from us!) Quality learning can be provided using wild bees as that catalyst to enthuse & educate kids about the environment & their place in it.
@WaywardBee @LivingBeeing An excellent pod cast & totally agree how Honeybees can be a super catalyst for learning in schools, BUT most importantly how we should be teaching our children about wild bees, what they need & providing habitats & connecting with nature, so many important messages, super! 😊

Incredible scenes at Kenfig National Nature Reserve this week with tens of thousands of Vernal colletes bees (Colletes cunicularius) nesting in the sand dunes. Pictures are some of the females, males, mating balls and mating pairs seen.
A beekeeper can start to dance when hears this beautiful sound😀🐝. The swarm of foragers with the pollen and other bees at hive site during colony inspection😘😍. The hive was taken aside for inspection.
#SaveTheBees
Please keep a close eye out in your polytunnels/glasshouses for trapped #bumblebees
Especially at this time of year when new queens are on the wing.
Every #queen that dies is a colony that doesn’t happen.
So please take that brief moment to help them out.
Thanks.

My thoughts for 2021, are as I say at the end of each of my Presentations..
"When the Bees Come to You...….. YOU are Truly Blessed.."
Bee Blessed for 2021
Magical afternoon spent with my local Clarke's mining-bee (Andrena clarkella) population. Thankfully I timed it perfectly to witness a mass emergence of both sexes. Both sexes of Early nomad bee (Nomada leucopthalma) - it's associated cuckoo bee - was also present. I love bees 😍
@olds_liam I'm pretty sure I saw this mining-bee yesterday on the West Coast of Wales - very busy on a warm day in the sand-dune microclimate. In fact, none of them would stay still long enough for me to have a good look!
