The British countryside is a national treasure. But once the countryside is gone, it is gone forever. We lose our green and pleasant land (and our food security) at our own peril.
Bumblebees don’t understand glass - they get confused and trapped and exhausted.
And they die.
Likewise with polytunnel plastic.
So if you see or hear a #bumblebee buzzing and banging against a window in your house SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP - AND QUICKLY!
She’s in trouble.

Sad to see the demise of Cadbury’s but once bought by the U.S. it was inevitable… check out how much of this stuff is used in their diets, and processed foods. Eat old fashioned. Don’t eat late. Cut out empty calories. Move more! Three months to make or break habits
It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain.
Please #retweet!
Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year!

Times change. Nuclear has so very many disadvantages as we well know.
In Europe, #wind and hashtag#solar generated more electricity than fossil fuel in 2025, providing 30% of pan-EU power, demonstrating just how rapidly a #renewables power system can move. In the UK, the Royal Society concluded that renewables plus long-duration storage are not only feasible but will be cheaper than a system with any level of hashtag#nuclear power. Although solar has delivered the fastest energy transition in history, it’s set to be beaten by #battery Energy Storage Systems - #BESS.
Solar saved Europe €3bn in fossil fuel imports in March: A new analysis found that Europe’s solar capabilities could save the continent €67.5 billion by the end of the year if gas prices remain high.
