Heute abend schon was vor? Hier gibt's die besten Tipps zum #insektenschutz von unseren #Wildbienenexperten #nativebees @UEcosystems @MonikaEgerer

[The Bees In Your Backyard @BeesBackyard]

Saving 125 million honey bees (as National Geographic's article states @NatGeo) and building 2,500 beehives feels like a lot of misplaced efforts.
Are there other ways we can empower women and sustain their livelihoods that involve native bees? We would love your ideas below!

[Monika Egerer @MonikaEgerer]

Emotions like fascination, joy, and anger play an important role in predicting pro (pollinator) conservation behavior. check out our paper in the SI in #insects on #CitizenScience @mfnberlin @TanjaStraka: https://t.co/3BLpgYjUUe

To all #GfOe2021 @GfoeSoc participants:

Are you matching species data from different sources (e.g. traits & occurrences) etc?
Do you need to know if your taxa name is valid?

Pls attend the last talk of the whole conference given by Matthias Grenie @LeNematode ➡️Track 3 | 6:15pm

Dritte Runde Feldarbeit in Berlin. #FunFact Die wilde Möhre Daucus carota täuscht mit ihrer lila Blüte Insektenbesuch vor, dadurch werden #Bestäuber wie #Käfer, #Fliegen und #Wildbienen angelockt @mfnberlin @naturblickmfn @TU_Muenchen
