These Tree bumblebees are fanning their nest to keep it cool 🌡️

Most UK bumblebees nest on or underground. Tree bumblebees, however, prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite 🐦

Have you spotted a Tree bumblebee nest?

Huge thanks to @GroundControlGC for their support! The exhibit is attracting much attention 🐝

Yesterday we were at Sissinghurst for our monthly bee walk and at Little Cheyne Court wind farm for our wildflower surveys. At Sissinghurst we recorded over 130 bumblebees including all 7 common species, then at the wind farm we recorded two of our rare species!

It must be remembered that yellow rattle #Rhinanthus also supports numerous insects directly! It’s not just a “meadow maker”

Please #retweet/#share for the #bees.🙏🏼🐝

Again let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to & detrimental to genuine bee saving.

Yesterday, Alex gave a talk to Wild at Heart Learning, a forest school then, a talk to the Tyler Hill Gardening Society. Scarlett gave an online Bumblebee Beginners ID session to the Abbey Park Cemetry. Finally, Nikki gave a talk to the Rother Green Party.@BumblebeeTrust

On #worldbeeday please can we focus on the #wildbees, not the #honeybee. They are not the only #bees. our #bumblebees & solitarybees need our help! This lovely #queenbumblebee is provisioning her nest. But she has to compete with hundreds of foraging honeybees from a nearby hive!

Today, we went out on two site visits. The 1st was to Benenden Girls School, is a very promising site with many great features and history. The 2nd was to Benenden Medows. We went there to see how the land is developing. A lot of wildflowers starting to come out. @BumblebeeTrust

[BuzzingSouthEast @nikkigammans]

Hi everyone, yesterday I ran a bumblebee beginners identification course at Mantle Farm. It went well. There was a lot of interest in the project, and the people were engaging with the ID and learned a lot.

We have 400 bee hotels registered in #thebigbeehotelexperiment !!!

A lovely video here sent in by project member Ann Lamb.

Want to see this in your garden? - there is still time to join the experiment here: https://t.co/fnTZzguXbw

Plantlife’s #NoMowMay is back. Take action for nature by putting the lawnmower away and letting the wildflowers bloom 🌸

Even the smallest grassy patch can make a huge difference for our wildlife, including our bumblebees 🐝

[Ireland's Trees & Mythology @Tree_Folklore]

Daisies contain about 34 mg of vitamin C per 100g which isn't bad when you consider that an 🍊 contains 53 mg per 100g (I think) and also explains why they have long been considered effective against illnesses such as coughs & colds....because they are!

They are edible and have been cultivated for medicinal use for over 4000 years when the Ancient Egyptians used to grow them in their gardens.

Names that they have been given include 'Bone Flower' & 'Bruisewort' due to their supposed healing properties.

Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. They are a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝

Don't mow/strim/flail road verges full of spring flowers! A plea.

April welcomes the return of the Big Eight 🎱🐝 #BumblebeesAreBack

This month, some queens will emerge from hibernation. Already active queens will produce their first daughters – the workers 💼

Have you spotted any bumblebees over the Easter weekend?

@VannaBartlett1 @StevenFalk1 Reading up about it the larval head protruding from the host body is easy to mistake for a mite!
