I removed by bees from Oxford street after years of them struggling. Not enough forage in the area & high hive density. Putting additiinal hives there is not helping biodiversity. This is utter #beewash from Alveole. Expect more as #worldbeeday approaches. https://t.co/CTuNy81WCt
Just when you think we’re making a difference against corporate #beewash along comes a foreign rent a hive business and undoes years of hard work and sacrifice in the london. Alveole have plonked bees on 45 roof tops against local councils wishes! https://t.co/9fzZsO0Fog
Ten hives will depleted almost all the forage within 1km radius leaving very little for struggling wild bees. This is grossly unsustainable and nothing but #beewash @Lancasterbees please read https://t.co/TJkpgDoew8
Not long ago @PlymouthLabour said they wanted to be the #Bee capital of #Devon.
Here they are, spraying #Glyphosate in #Roundup, from quad bikes on the streets of #Plymouth
Not only killing insects and weeds, but their staff too! No vapour masks, goggles, or gloves.
#BeeWash
@chickpeaman @tomheapmedia @SkyNews @KewScience @kewgardens @KewPressRoom Good piece. OUT with #beewash IN withe evidence based narrative #Beesandflowersgotogether #Bees = ALL BEES & other pollnators
NEW POST
Bentley’s, beewash, robotic hives and why most initiatives are trying to save the wrong bees. Something for everyone for World Bee Day tomorrow.

@PlymouthLabour There are 298 apiaries within 10 km of Plymouth town centre ... make some space for native bees instead. #beewash
@SusKirrie @nature_scot @BuglifeScotland @STVNews @AngusRuralPship @TNLComFundScot There is no global decline in honey bees ... graph is millions of hives globally since 2010. There were ~45M in 1960. #beewash
It seems My anti #beewash Posts have upset some people. If they just stop spreading misleading rubbish about honey bees boosting your corporate biodiversity gain targets I’d have nothing to write about!
@ecology_digest @StevenFalk1 @bwars2000 @JeffOllerton @DaveGoulson @Ecoentogeek I’ve recently received threatening messages and personal insults from companies installing bee hives in cities dressed up as biodiversity conservation after pointing out its #beewash. There’s widespread denial among beekeepers of the mounting evidence that >honey bees = < wild🐝
Adding hives of honey bees does not improve biodiversity. Another study showing a link with increasing honey bee hives as a cause of wild bee declines in cities. Don’t fall for the #beewash getting a hive does not save bees.
New year- same old #Beewash.
*Honey bees not in decline, don’t need saving
* plonking hives of honey bees in urban areas is not rewilding
* adding more honey bees does not save the bees
Website full of inaccurate claims.

@BeeBabette Yup I come across that #beewash all the time and when I call it out for what it is #beewash I get personal insults thrown at me by beekeepers who are selling this crap to corporates. Misleading narratives lead to innapropriate action and negative consequences for biodiversity.
@KorichevaLab @RoyalHolloway In France several cities and a few universities have decided to stop establishing new hives on their territories, in support of wild bees. I think you should consider a meta-analysis of the effects of honeybees on biodiversity! Beware of all the #beewash
@ElmTreeBees @apiculturalLdn @SpringerNature I agree wholeheartedly on this, but I know he's more against those who #beewash, claiming that honey bees need saving, so aquire funding to #SaveTheBees, when honey bees don't need to be saved! It's all the other bees, that do. Beehives cause those other bees more harm than good.
New paper in the journal @SpringerNature shows 85% increase in managed honey bee colonies globally since the 1960s. Some regional declines but overall increases in hives and hive products output. Honey bees are not in danger. Don’t fall for the #beewash

It’s taken 12 weeks for AVIVA to respond to my comments on one of their mis-guided honey bee posts but they now want to talk and get expert advice. Occasionally challenging the #beewash results in little wins
@apiculturalLdn @LondonBeePerson @PollinatingLT @cityoflondon @CoLCityGdns Yes though not sure if planters and borders could rebalance pollinator envirionment on their own. But they could be a more environmentally friendly alternative statement for companies currently being duped by #beewash vendors into thinking hosting #honeybees helps bees
