Revived an exhausted bumblebee I found in the street with some sugar water yesterday. She went from barely moving to buzzing off in the sky in less than an hour. Sugar water mixture was two spoons granulated white sugar with one spoon water (don't feed them honey or brown sugar!)
This is how we appeared at #COP26. Thanks for hosting us @royalsociety#2050challenge. Here's the science bit, for the geeks out there: https://t.co/WqKMokSnfC. More papers coming next year I hope, based on @ElieKent 's work in blueberry farms with @BerryWorldGroup.
@WillDGWalker Thanks! Weβre just about to launch a second generation keyring based on the same design but stronger and more stylishβ¦ weβll let you know when it hits our Etsy shop πππ

Very exciting morning in the garden today with @TimStrudwick bee boffin for the @NorfolkWT He found several Bellflower Blunthorn Bees, rarely seen in Norwich, visiting our self-sown Nettle-Leaved Campanulas. A perfect example of why weeds are important for wildlife!
