@darren_cullen @KettlegunStudio @greenmattwhite It’s on its way 🐝💚🌍

[Saviour Bees CIC @SaviourBees]

@KettlegunStudio @darren_cullen @greenmattwhite Yep, what @KettlegunStudio said!

[Saviour Bees CIC @SaviourBees]

@darren_cullen This is awesome! She’s a queen bee… so saving her means she can head off and start her first colony of 2022… nom, nom, nom 🐝💚🌍

[Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives @darren_cullen]

Revived an exhausted bumblebee I found in the street with some sugar water yesterday. She went from barely moving to buzzing off in the sky in less than an hour. Sugar water mixture was two spoons granulated white sugar with one spoon water (don't feed them honey or brown sugar!)

This is how we appeared at #COP26. Thanks for hosting us @royalsociety #2050challenge. Here's the science bit, for the geeks out there: https://t.co/WqKMokSnfC. More papers coming next year I hope, based on @ElieKent 's work in blueberry farms with @BerryWorldGroup.

[Earlham Institute @EarlhamInst]

Today scientists from Earlham Institute, @biouea and @cambridge_uccri will be in the Green Zone at #COP26 (virtually) for a Q&A session on research to save the bees and share our #summerscience #beetrail.

@WillDGWalker Thanks! We’re just about to launch a second generation keyring based on the same design but stronger and more stylish… we’ll let you know when it hits our Etsy shop 🐝💚🌍

[Butterfly Conservation 🦋 @savebutterflies]

The results are in from our Big #ButterflyCount 2021 and sadly, we've seen the lowest ever number of butterflies and moths recorded, despite receiving more records than in any other Count.

[Head Gardener @bishopsgardens]

Very exciting morning in the garden today with @TimStrudwick bee boffin for the @NorfolkWT He found several Bellflower Blunthorn Bees, rarely seen in Norwich, visiting our self-sown Nettle-Leaved Campanulas. A perfect example of why weeds are important for wildlife!
