Waggle dance recruitment seemed to increase in usage in more urban environments. A brilliant study on #foraging efficiency in relation to individual short term memory and communication between bees. Thank you for sharing your research with us at #Ento23 @ElliLeadbeater1 🐝
Many thanks to the team involved in this study.

A beautiful spot to relax and unwind during #Ento23, @UniExeCEC campus boasts a walled garden for you to wander at your leisure when you'd like to muse over the talks, posters and exhibitors 🦋
Dr Heather Campbell-Miles@scienceheather6 Sep 2023
If you're at #Ento23 and looking for some quiet time then I highly recommend some hammock time in the walled garden (baby not included!). It's a lovely little spot on campus.

A beautiful evening in the good company of fellow entomologists and enthusiasts. Thank you to all who joined us last night, it was a joy to exchange ideas and share stories with everyone - May the buzz of the conversation continue on through the last day of #Ento23! 🦋

🔺Our @itvnews investigation into RAAC in schools back in MARCH was alarming, and parents were understandably worried. They were right to be. Many will be asking why the DfE waited until now, and days before the start of a new term, to announce schools with it should close?

These colonies are amazing! The pink ones look like neurons 🧠😍 Has anyone ever seen anything growing like this? Any idea what they could be?

It was great to meet so many people at #CoCoMAD on Saturday! The plates have been growing in our lab @IMIBirmingham, and they're looking beautiful! Here are a couple that caught our eye - check back on Friday to find yours!
Picture of an agar plate with some cloudy-looking colonies on it. There are also some smaller, round colonies that look like they're inhibiting the cloudy ones.

Nigel Farage fell below the financial threshold required to hold an account at Coutts, the prestigious private bank for wealthy customers the BBC has been told. It also understood that he was offered a normal account at Natwest which owns Coutts. People familiar....
