Our new nature film “Bumblebees, shooting stars and buzz pollination in the wild” uses slow motion macro video to highlight ecology of buzz pollination in #bumblebees and green sweat bees. Plus cool scenes of queens mating, grooming & nest searching https://t.co/mI8CO4a1DL PlsRT

We usually film pollinator behavior with a 400mm telephoto lens, rather than a macro lens, so we can capture images of bees visiting flowers 3-4 meters away.  My preferred lens is the Canon Rf 100-400, a compact telephoto lens that weighs just 635g.  I use single point autofocus.

My students and I shoot video with the Canon full frame R5 mirrorless camera.   This camera produces very high quality 4k video at 120 fps.   The video can then be played back at 30 fps, which is ¼ normal speed.

Glad to show you a 4min video we've done on the @ERC_Research Project #IslandLife. Hope you like it!
https://t.co/LBQjqJmt4u Thanks to @farvisuals for their great work! @ruben_heleno @Isatxu_Donoso

Great talk by @EllenCBaker at #SCAPE2024 on sterols in UK plants & UK wild bees reporting work from her PhD & our @NERCscience project in the UK nutritional landscape. @KewScience @UniofOxford

Our fantastic subject editor, Magne Friberg, is talking about the evolution of floral scent at #SCAPE2024! We are very grateful for the expertise he contributes to our editorial board and look forward to the newly launched joint special issue in pollination ecology with him!

Enjoying one of the best conference venues I've been to so far! And top that up by being surrounded by inspiring pollination talks all day. #SCAPE2024

[Cristina Rueda @RuedaUCristina]

What a conference!! Thank you #SCAPE2024 for the stellar organization at an absolutely stunning venue. And for letting me bring a little movement ecology into pollination! @SCAPE_Poll_Ecol

[Rudi Crispin Swart @CrispinRudi]

#SCAPE2024 was a very engaging conference, where all things pollination were discussed. Met some great people in the field, doing incredible work. Presented on insect pollinator distribution in the mosaic southern Cape forests.
@JeffOllerton gave a fascinating keynote!

Here is a short video clip from my new 9 min nature film "Pollination by wild #bees". The film highlights buzz pollination; grooming; nest searching and MATING by wild #bumblebees. #SCAPE2024

“Maybe at the heart of conserving insects is to be able to see them and connect with them,” says Hollis Woodard, an entomologist at the University of California, Riverside, “and these images are obviously a great way to do that.” https://t.co/WKk4lW5A8i

This year’s SCAPE organizers have truly outdone themselves with the location! Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! #SCAPE2024

[Nordic Journal of Botany @NordicJBotany]

#SCAPE2024 @JeffOllerton is talking about the importance of pollinators for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Plants dependent on pollination contribute greatly to global food production and economic wealth. We ❤️ plant-pollinator interactions + welcome all papers on this!

[Prof Phil Stevenson @chickpeaman]

Thrilled to be at #SCAPE2024 in Lofthus, Norway where last night we were treated to the most extraordinary display of northern lights. Such a privilege.
