Rather than giving the green light to bee-killing pesticides, the Government should be supporting farmers to take up more nature-friendly farming practices instead. Read more about this in our latest blog 👉 https://t.co/6cvGKkzKqv (4/4)

Maintaining & regenerating hedgerows is critical to help farmers tackle the triple crisis of food security, biodiversity loss & climate change. @ScotWildlife are working with farmers to restore their hedgerows. https://t.co/AtARlkHkSQ @nature_scot @Nectar_Network @LornaCTweets

Had a blast helping the farm advisory service film this wee video on hedge management with @Nectar_Network @ScotWildlife @FASScot here at Low Pinmore

@philsturgeon @Rosewood_Farm Teamwork makes the dream work. The support from @Nectar_Network has been key. Like minded bodies to help with the work and that crucial bit of advice when needed. Not to mention shared costs. Sounds familiar!

Great to meet you Lorna, and great for our hedges - old, new and messy to get some appreciation! Here they are in warmer months, in full messy glory.

[Lorna Cole @LornaCTweets]

Fantastic visit to @PinmoreLow where Amy& Craig are working with @Nectar_Network to plant/restore hedgerows! They are embracing a messy hedge & seeing benefits to wildlife 🤩 Great opportunities for Ayrshire farmers to get assistance to plant hedges, trees & create meadows🌳🐝🐄

Neonicotinoids are highly toxic to #bees, but despite being prohibited the Government has authorised their use

Hay making complete. 2.5 acres cleared for wildflower meadow in partnership with Nectar Network using a seed mix specially designed for grazing animals based on mg5 and 6 grasslands. Sweetcorn harvest now begins!

[Low Pinmore Farm @PinmoreLow]

It's our annual cut the field & hope for hay time 🌞 This year we cut late, kept away from the edges, left an acre unmown, & mowed outwards to help improve wildlife chances & encourage more of it for future photobombing. Thanks Alan Caldwell 👍

This proposed injunction by #HS2 Ltd threatens people's right to protest peacefully - and we also fear that it would prevent ecologists from visiting HS2 sites to undertake important monitoring and checks. More 👇���️

The Red-tailed Mason bee, not to be confused with its cousin, the Red Mason bee, can be found here at Lackford Lakes. She is a very special bee because she nests inside empty snail shells. Here, she can be seen repositioning her chosen empty snail shell that she has found.

Rediscovered this old photo from my childhood. Kudos to our neighbours in Germany at that time for having absolutely no fear of dandelions. Grateful for the inspiration #lifegoals #PerfectforPollinators #wildflowers 🦋🐛🐝🐞🪰
