#Snow is forecast tomorrow. Whilst settling snow is less likely at this time of year we are expecting some, mainly over high ground.
Here are the details 👇
Managed to get a half decent shot of one of my Leaf Cutter Bees coming back to the nest chamber in the @uk_masonbees nest box. I never expected anything to actually use it this year after putting it up so late. Fantastic to sit and watch them #WexMondays#fsprintmonday
@welshbirders@TheEnglishExile Red Masons are about done for the year, (usually active between April-June, though was later this time) - there are still plenty of solitary species flying between now and the end of summer that use the tubes tho, so certainly still worth installing a nesting site at this time.
I’m so happy! Thanks to @GemmaCudlip agreeing to me putting up my @uk_masonbees box, I now have 3 active leaf cutter bees nesting in the pull out draw. And 1 other smaller bee (last tube on the right) which seems to be living there ☺️☺️☺️ going to try photograph them tonight 🐝📷
We're absolutely buzzing to announce that our 2022 Guardian Kits are now in stock and available to purchase from our online shop!

A few months ago I released some #masonbees onto the Cloud Garden. It didn't go to plan 👀🤦🏾♀️😂
I made a video showing what happened, their life cycle & the fabulous Guardian Programme from @uk_masonbees#savethebees#bees#pollinators

@SolitaryBeeWeek @lisajrwilliams @EDoorish@JeffOllerton @air_beenbee @SaviourBees@pollinatorproj@_Entomophily@AndWhitehouse@Buzz_dont_tweet@solitarybeesUK On the one hand, you can take it with you, BUT things to consider: 1.. Distance. Solitary species can be highly specialised/regional - if moved to an area with different microclimate/flora, the bees may not survive - or worse, they do *really* well and disadvantage local species.
