Well I finally made a Bluesky, so find me there.

[Ronnie M 🌸 @FutureDrMiller]

I've seen a large surge of people make bluesky accounts. Is this a true move or more splitting up? I struggle with too many accounts so I'm not moving until I know it's final. 😭 even tho he has ruined this app

My time at ESA was spent nerding out over some some fantastic bee talks, supporting lab members, but, more excitingly, having a blast and helping people with work-life balance or neurodivergence. 💞🐝🌵🌅

Hey pal, it looks like you’re about to *checks notes* wipe out all the pollinators who've been hard at work in your yard all summer!?
Let’s try another way. Read on for bug-friendly tips on tidying up (or not) & meet some of the friends you’ll be saving⤵️

Loved unwinding, walking, and connecting with nature.

Travelling to Phoenix today to the @EntsocAmerica conference - looking forward to learning new things, meeting old friends and giving the ESA Founders' Memorial Lecture to honour Charles Turner, a founding father of comparative animal cognition

Our paper on how biting helps during buzz pollination is free to read. Thanks to @UU_University for providing open access fees. Buzz-pollinating bees deliver thoracic vibrations to flowers through periodic biting: Current Biology https://t.co/pKZ202CG5J

Megachile pluto has been officially listed as an endangered and protected species in Indonesia! This is an important step, and those of you who know me you will understand this is near and dear to my heart. 💪

Took a little break after BP2024. But I'm back to show you these mites (I think) that I found on one of my bumbles collected for a pesticide analysis. Yuck.

[Ronnie M 🌸 @FutureDrMiller]

Bee Palooza 2024 is in the books! So grateful for all the humans that help me follow my dreams. Bee The Change 🫶🏼

[Bee Palooza 🐝 @BeePalooza]

Pt. 2 of our Bee The Change goal is to support ground nesting bees. About 70% of bees are ground nesters! We can support them by leaving bare patches of soil. If you like to use mulch, try using leaf litter, pine needles, or other softer alternatives.

Business as usual, we will see you Aug. 25th for Bee Palooza in the Horticultural Gardens! Come pet a bee, learn about how to bee the change, and get some free pollinator made ice cream (non-dairy options)! 🍦
