Are you seeing very few bumblebees this month? 🧵
We're in a gap between 'peak queen' bumblebee (spring when lots of overwintered queens are looking for nest sites) & 'peak worker' bumblebee (mid summer). This year the gap seems to be deeper & more pronounced than normal. 1/7

Wishing Dr Rob a happy retirement - we'll miss you! 👏😢

[UW Biological And Forensic Sciences @UoWBioSci]

It's the end of an era in Biological Sciences. Dr Rob Herbert is leaving us after 32 years. 👨🏻‍🔬👋

His passion for science inspired countless students over the decades and his puns have amused us all. We will always remember how much energy costs. 80p!🤣🤣

🌳 Biological recording at Lakeside Campus 🌳

On a foggy morning last week, we gathered at @uwlakeside to explore and record the rich biodiversity around us.

Take a look at the reel to see some of our finds! 🦎🐞🪲🐝🦋

Happy #WorldBeeDay! Enjoying a few moments in our fabulous wildflower meadows surrounding the buildings at work @UK_CEH Wallingford. In just 3-4 years, packed with yellow rattle, buttercup, red clover, oxeye daisy and more. Mown paths providing bare soil for nesting solitary bees

[Kate Ashbrook @KateAshbrook]

It was a beautiful day at our Lakeside Campus @worcester_uni for a bit of biological recording! Lots of interesting finds, from hawk-moths to newts 🦋🐌🐞🐝🪲🕷️🐜🦆🦢🐇🐁 @UoWBioSci @UoW_SERG

[UW Biological And Forensic Sciences @UoWBioSci]

We're waving goodbye to our final-year Biological Sciences students, as they finished the final part of their degree, presenting research projects at our mini conference. We wish them the best as they embark on exciting new adventures! 👨‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬
