@Natasha_Walter @BumblebeeTrust More here on what we can do #BumblebeeManifesto

@Natasha_Walter You might find this interesting from @BumblebeeTrust - we are watching carefully & monitoring changes but our bees need us to act on pesticides, habitat, climate change etc. Thanks for planting for bees Natasha 🐝🌸🌻

Are you seeing very few bumblebees this month? 🧵
We're in a gap between 'peak queen' bumblebee (spring when lots of overwintered queens are looking for nest sites) & 'peak worker' bumblebee (mid summer). This year the gap seems to be deeper & more pronounced than normal. 1/7

May is here and so are the Big Eight 🎱🐝 #BumblebeesAreBack

This month, some queens will produce their first daughters (workers) while others will welcome new males 💼🚹

What bumblebees have you spotted so far this spring?

@zebsoanes @Mammal_Society @RCSACambridge Great to meet you last night @zebsoanes - thanks for your encouragement of Ayla!

[Angela Style @angelacstyle]

Now, I know bumblebees aren’t mammals @zebsoanes but this is the guidance from @BumblebeeTrust we talked about last night @Mammal_Society dinner - sugar water as a last resort etc 🐝🦊

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔

📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that.

What should you do if you find a bumblebee in bad weather?🤔

DON’T
🚫Take her indoors!
👑Bumblebee queens need to be outside to search for a place to nest. She may already have a nest that she is gathering food for.
🥵A bumblebee will burn more energy if kept warm indoors.

🚫 Bumblebees need to be outside to complete their lifecycles, so never take them indoors.

Have you helped a bumblebee this year?

Really great to see more charities speaking out about the risks of climate change - here on child health inequalities 👏

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

@RCPCHPresident @CamillaKingdon @CheungRonny @DrMikeMckean @DrHJStewart @lizmarder Children in lower income families are more at risk from the health effects of:
1. Air pollution
2. Extreme Heatwaves
3. Damp and cold homes

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

As autumn settles in, bumblebee nests come to their natural end and new queens seek cosy, undisturbed spaces to hibernate alone until spring 🍂

Of the UK’s 24 bumblebee species, these four remain active in October.

What bumblebees have you spotted recently? 👇🏾📷🎥

@davejvwallace @perkins58 @BumblebeeTrust There’s lots of us about 😍. Thanks for sharing the poem @davejvwallace and for creating such a haven for bumblebees - lots of gardening resources on our website if you need more inspo! #BeeTheChange

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

The UK’s wildlife is continuing to decline according to the State of Nature Report 2023.

Since 1970, pollinators such as bees, hoverflies and moths, have decreased by 18% on average.

54% of flowering plants across Great Britain have decreased in where they are found.
