Hey everyone!
Apologies but due to the high wind we won't be able to run our family event in Abbott's Park today 😟

This month, most of these rare and less common queens will be producing their first daughters – the workers 👑💼

What bumblebees have you spotted recently? 👀

Today, Buzzing in the East End (B.E.E) partnered with The Conservation Volunteers for a beginners bumblebee field ID workshop in Leyton Jubilee Park 🔍🐝
We set up a new BeeWalk through their wildflower meadow, recording Buff-tail, White-tail and Common carders.

@porridgepoetry We've not got one planned at present as I would have to get up at about midnight to get there on time😅 - but I'm not ruling it out as it's something I love doing! (-Joe)

The Lloyd Park Green Gym helping out with some woodchipping near the cafe! Woodchipping has many uses, preventing undesirable plants from taking over flower beds and other growing spaces as well as providing valuable nutrients to the soil and beneficial mycorrhizal fungi!

Thank you to everyone doing their bit for wildlife by taking one of our bird boxes last Friday!
It was a really enjoyable evening with lots of lovely wildlife conversations and smiling faces - we hope they bring some more smiles as they get used!

Thank you to all the volunteers at Leyton Jubilee who helped us re build our dead hedge along the woodland walk! Unfortunately, we lost a section of this valuable habitat in a fire, but some hard work by our volunteers has put this right again! (oh and we found a cool frog)
