Je me réjouis que nous ayons concrétisé l'acquisition du #MaraisWiels! Ce projet est emblématique de notre volonté d'offrir + d'espaces de respiration aux Bruxellois, de renforcer la biodiversité & la nature dans nos quartiers & de prévenir les inondations.https://t.co/uA3XndVHXF

“Dear Mr. Bee Nerd, which expensive camera should I buy for bee chasing?”
Dear Vexed Shopper, start by spending about $20 for a phone clip-on macro lens. I always have it in my pocket. Snack-wanting cat costs extra. [Alameda, CA 10-24-2020] #bees #nativebees #macro #becurious

@LucyKucharik @Britnatureguide You're now officially a Disney Princess™!

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

#Bumblebees with a full stomach only have enough energy to fly for 40 minutes! So it's important to have plenty of refuelling stations (AKA flowers) in your garden!.

@SaxtonAdam @ElaineMThompson That's a European hornet, Vespa crabro.

En cette saison, nos reines de bourdon cherchent un endroit pour hiberner!

Where do new #bumblebee queens go in winter? They hibernate underground!

In this fascinating video, a Buff-tail queen (Bombus terrestris) and Red-tailed queen (Bombus lapidarius) are both seen looking for a place to hibernate. Video credit: Teresa Lovell #extrodinary #together

George gets it. Be like George.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

At the risk of alienating yet another economic sector, I've just read a paper which suggests that keeping honeybees is even more harmful than I thought: massive suppression of wild pollinators, and much poorer reproduction of wild plants. https://t.co/Ot659FzmxI

[WildBnB @WildBnB]

@GeorgeMonbiot You won't get any flack from bee experts. European honey bees are livestock, they are at zero risk of extinction and their presence is damaging to natural, rural and urban ecosystems through food competition, pathogen transmission and pressure on wild plants and wild pollinators.

Please can we stop using the word 'weeds" and refer to these plants as wildflowers instead. 🌼🏵️🌺🌸

Cat shows up at guy’s window and asks to live there ❤️

[WildBnB @WildBnB]

@hermanntrude While we like a good buzz, don't forget all the bat-, bird-, self- and wind-pollinated plants out there!

[Penny Metal 🐝 @misspennymetal]

Can anyone explain the white eyes on this Bombus terrestris? Perfectly happy flying around. Fungal or just a quirk of nature? @NHM_Bees @BumblebeeTrust @Buzz_dont_tweet @StevenFalk1

These stray cats were spotted occupying the circle marks intended for the implementation of social distancing protocols in front of a store in Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City on Sunday amid enhanced community quarantine.

Let us know what bees you have in your backyard next weekend!

(FR) Ce mâle d'Andrena récolté par coupelle en Forêt de Soignes ce 14/3/2020 livre une surprise: un mâle Stylops émergeait de son abdomen! Les stylops (Ordre Strepsiptera, famille Stylopidae) sont des insectes endoparasites qui se développent notamment dans les andrènes.

[WildBnB @WildBnB]

#Stylops This male Andrena bee was collected by pantrap in the Sonian Forest on 14.3.2020. It died when a Stylops male (Strepsiptera Stylopidae) was emerging from its abdomen.
