Maybe those pesky weeds have something to tell us?

Bees don't need anyone telling them what to do!

[Sarah Jane Humphrey @sarahgalerie]

My parents are bee keepers. They sent me this photo from a fellow French bee keeper who didn’t put the frames in his hive. This is the magic the bees created by themselves 🐝 #bees #nature

First bird survey of the year and I had lapwings circling over the solar farm! Such a lucky find, those alien sounds made my morning. @WychwoodBio

What a fantastic idea. Bee bricks, bat boxes, & hedgehog highways should be compulsory for new builds. We do need more housing, & it should be built with biodiversity in mind - not as a retrofit.

The team at @calearth train hundreds of people each year to build their own homes using locally available earth. 2 of 5 housing projects that could change the world https://t.co/OsB2B48TW8

Brilliant effort by our dedicated volunteer team today to plant 12 Sussex variety apple trees in #community space at Berwick #solarfarm, in challenging weather conditions! A huuuge thanks to all involved! @WychwoodBio @CuckmereSolar @RSAEvents @WiseEnergyLtd @BPTpermaculture

[Clare Halliday @ClareLou10]

Prepared for #communityorchard planting @ Berwick #solarfarm with @BPTpermaculture, by testing the soil. We're in luck, the clay spoil heap is a great option for fruit trees! Excited to welcome the lovely volunteers next w/e. @WychwoodBio @RSAEvents @CuckmereSolar @WiseEnergyLtd

Thank you Gandhi for these wise words! A moral code I can stand by.

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

Gandhi’s list of ‘Seven Social Sins’, published back in 1925. Of course, it is all different now:

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Religion without sacrifice
Politics without principle

New study in @sciencemagazine has found that exposure to neonicotinoid compounds directly impacts the social behavior of bumblebees, causing them to be less active and less likely to care for or feed larvae. https://t.co/ukimkuUtO0

@BeckySpake @evecita16 Yes! Trees need friends too =)

[Clare Halliday @ClareLou10]

@DaveGoulson @jeffdonald There are lots of apples available going to waste around the country, its more a problem of connecting spare apples together with people who want them. More apple trees are always good though!

[Clare Halliday @ClareLou10]

This is so familiar, people not realising honeybees and bumblebees are entirely different. Honeybees are domestic animals mainly useful for giving us honey but not great for pollination, whereas bumblebees live in burrows underground and are great at pollinating flowers.

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

Why are @WWF asking people to sponsor a honeybee? Honeybees are domestic animals. They are in no way endangered. Perhaps it'll be "sponsor a chicken" next?

We made a #bughotel and bumblebee homes and sowed wildflowers at a solar farm in Sussex, with the much appreciated enthusiastic help of a local school group. We hope these will really help… https://t.co/Hi1LtvTgF9

PLEASE please R/T this to combat bad advice on internet that appears to be going viral and will result in healthy hedgehogs being 'rescued' :-(

Why trust the IPCC climate change report?

It is like, instead going to your doctor, having a panel of top doctors from around the world review everything known about your condition, then letting the rest of world's doctors review the initial findings, THEN getting a diagnosis.

[Dr Gemma Delafield @G_Delafield]

The new #AgriculturalBill states that farmers will be paid for providing #publicgoods including improving #water and #air quality, providing habitats for #wildlife and reducing #flood risk. The next big question is: how will these payments be allocated? @Leep_Institute

[Chloë Dalglish @ChloeDalglish]

Poor little squashed grass snake! On a footpath with partially permeable fencing on one section, and solid fence panels where this was. Have a think about your boundary fencing, does it let wildlife move freely? #connectivity #urban #habitat
