Lavender bags made @emsworthsc smell wonderful. Thank you bees!

[X-Polli:Nation @XpolliProject]

Seedballs were a popular activity at @emsworthsc! #PolliPromise #Forcefornature

[X-Polli:Nation @XpolliProject]

St Alban’s Primary (Hants) began half term at @emsworthsc to share simple ways in which we can all help pollinators. They were a great team! #PolliPromise

🐝New paper out now highlighting how #citizenscience projects such as https://t.co/loIb4OEYfp can open doors for young people to contribute to frameworks such as the #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

🌷 All'Orto botanico di #Firenze sono fiorite azalee, #piante carnivore e narcisi.

🌿Il malessere del nostro pianeta ci regala una #primavera anticipata.
I curatori Giulio Ferretti e Giulia Torta raccontano a @corrierefirenze l'anomalia dovuta al #cambiamentoclimatico.

New paper based on data from hundreds of farms across the world highlights that global pollinator losses cause 500,000 early deaths a year. Insect declines mean reduced yields of healthy foods like fruit and vegetables with associated impacts on health. https://t.co/je43yTiNLt

Poppy doing a fantastic job talking about all things #XPolli at the European Citizen Science Association Conference in Berlin!

Lots of great stalls at #havantboroughbiggreenweek including St Alban’s, one of our project schools. #PolliPromise

Little pockets of colour providing autumn pollinator power at St Alban’s Primary, Hants. What’s growing in your school?

Interesting papers just published analysing the wings of bumblebee specimens indicating signs of stress linked to increasingly hotter and wetter conditions https://t.co/1RkP4QbI6f

🥤 It is fascinating watching butterflies feed. Using a straw like tongue called a proboscis they drink liquids (nectar, rotting fruit juice or even dung!)

📈You can help ‘take nature’s pulse’ by taking part in the @savebutterflies Big Butterfly Count until this Sunday!

Hummingbird Hawk Moth spotted at the weekend! Amongst our excitement about this find we are also reaching out to teachers and group leaders who have taken part in #xpolli Could you spare 5 mins at the start of your holiday to have your voice heard please: https://t.co/9VNVQnqfBP

[X-Polli:Nation @XpolliProject]

Have you been learning about #pollinators with #xpolli resources? We would really appreciate your views for a scientific paper we are writing about the importance of #citizenscience and how it can contribute to #globalgoals
