Not advocating worshipping of bees, but it's pretty cool to see how one of the most successful civilizations in the history of the world esteemed the honey bee.

Honey production is undergoing a major revival as communities help save the threatened honey bee. Among the beekeepers is the country's youngest - Rian Somers - who is busily harvesting this year's crop at home in Rathcormac, Co Cork | https://t.co/ddI4SKJ69D

The #NationalHoneyShow in #England will be an #online event this year, so we can still enjoy all the informative #bee #honeybee #beekeeping lectures & workshops but from the comfort of our own homes. For more info

“We do not want World Bee Day to be a celebration because we don’t have anything to celebrate. We want to use this day as a tool to inform people that bees are important.”
Brilliant to read this on #WorldBeeDay2020!

Beekeeping has never has been about ‘saving the bees’, but neither has it been associated with ecological harm – but many beekeepers are now keenly aware of the need to work sensitively with the wider ecology and foraging capacity of their region.

Good thing the lockdown doesn’t apply to pollinators 😎🌍 (if it did, we’d be in real trouble!) you can see clearly here too - dandelions are beloved by bees!! 💐🐝🍯 so let’s give the mowing a rest shall we? #nativebees #wildflowerhour #pollinators #BeekeepersHour #beekeeping

[Raffaele Dall'Olio @radallo]

I don't want this kind of development..😔

[ASLAMCO @aslamcoltd]

More trees, more bees ! 🐝 🌳 💐 🍯 and with this initiative, new sustainable livelihood opportunities being created for folks in the community ... especially important now as we look to build a better world post COVID-19! #billiontreetsunami #beekeeping #sustainability

[Malik Amin Aslam @aminattock]

#Honey production rises by 70% in 3 years in #ChangaMangaForest with increase in forest cover and protection- target is to increase it 10 fold in next 2 years- inshallah a vision which will continue to grow across #Pakistan under #10BillionTreeTsunami https://t.co/pjs4HJzHMZ

We have polycotton cover-all suits in a variety of diff. sizes which I believe would work as an effective barrier (combined w/ mask / gloves). Able to make available at cost if useful to anyone atm? #PPEshortage #PPESupplies #COVID19ireland

[ASLAMCO @aslamcoltd]

Given the #PPEshortage would #beekeeping suits serve as viable #PPE for frontline staff dealing with #covid19 emergency in NW Ireland / NI? We design specialist PPE inc these protective suits + gloves -some of which could be repurposed at short notice @paddycosgrave @ClodaghLRice

[Harris Aslam 🧶 @harryaslam]

Ah yes! One of the finest moths! I myself have always been a big fan of the mighty Elephant Hawk Moth 😎... welcome to Scotland my dudes! #fashion #textiles #inspiration #visitscotland #pollinators

Calling all beekeepers based in Ireland.
Please take part in this beekeeping census.
The funding we get allotted from the EU under the National Apiculture Programme is based on this census.
All data will remain confidential.

Lovely story this! Beekeepers are a truly eclectic and diverse bunch - so it is always fascinating to learn how people around the world overcome challenges of all kinds in order to pursue their passion for beekeeping...
This is an inspiring example here ! 👏 🐝 #beekeeping #bees

[Bees for Development @BeesForDev]

This story shows that blindness needn't stop you from taking up beekeeping; sound is a telling signal of the mood of bees in and around the hive. https://t.co/8zQFrX0ALy

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

We really MUST stop digging peat out of the ground for gardening. Peat bogs are huge stores of carbon, and internationally rare habitats. It is madness. Please sign this petition, and RT

As a design company focused on working with nature ... we are obsessed with ingenuity in the wild ... this why we always marvel at bees (and plant-pollinator interactions generally! 💐 🦋 🐝) but the Honey Badger is hilariously smart too !! https://t.co/jhU7AqIzxb 🍯🦡🤣👏

[ASLAMCO @aslamcoltd]

@JaneCStout @LynnDicks @JeffOllerton @ibartomeus @IPBES Excellent - thanks 👍🐝
We will be there supporting responsible beekeeping and pollinator protection activity on the island of Ireland in 2020. Keen to align with and support this positive work on pollinators 🇮🇪🐝 💐 (from our position as a design / textile company)

[Lynn Dicks @LynnDicks]

Which countries now have national #pollinator strategies? I count 13. Here's a map of them and here's some advice on what they should include: https://t.co/DDA2CDtLbg.
