🐝 #Pollinators (#bees, #birds, #bats, #butterflies, #moths, #flies, #wasps, #beetles, small #mammals) play critical role in #food production
🐝 ensure diets are diverse by fertilizing #crops
🐝 100 crops grown in U.S. that depend on pollination

Climate change could be contributing to a three-decade decline in honey production, according to a new study from Penn State.

Huge congratulations Dr. @SabRondeau on this amazing achievement. Richly deserved recognition for your ground-breaking PhD research on pesticide impacts on ground-nesting #bees. 🐝#ProudSupervisor @UofGResearch @ArrellFoodInst

Neem oil used appropriately won’t harm #bees, #butterflies and #ladybugs.

Since #neem oil only targets bugs who chew on leaves, neem oil #insecticides are safe to use around butterflies, ladybugs, and most other beneficial #insects.

Here's some varroa mites on video for you to see, its shocking how big they are compared to the bee. Treatment time for this hive this week

Poor bee had 3 on her when she hatched out

Which are better, synthetic miticides or organic acid treatments? What about chemical-free? A large-scale, multi-year study of colony health and survival. Is a 'healthy treatment-free' colony an oxymoron?

Leafcutter bees! 🤩 This Washington blueberry grower is trying to boost pollination by using honey bees + leafcutter bees. Nice to see the long flower handling time of this individual! 🐝

Just re-publicising an article for #WorldBeeDay I wrote about whether bees are actually dying, and if pesticides are to blame.

A short read, perfect for your morning procrastination after you've finished wordle 😉
