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: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…. More papers coming next year I hope, based on @ElieKent 's work in blueberry farms with @BerryWorldGroup.

Queen Bombus terrestris, Buff-tailed bumblebee, searching in dry litter under conifers, presumably for somewhere safe to spend the winter months. @BumblebeeTrust 🐝

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.

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!

Just under a month to go until the UK publication of SILENT EARTH, Professor Dave Goulson’s magnum opus and a book that everyone - everyone - should read.
