It was a beautiful day at our Lakeside Campus University of Worcester for a bit of biological recording! Lots of interesting finds, from hawk-moths to newts 🦋🐌🐞🐝🪲🕷️🐜🦆🦢🐇🐁 UW Biological And Forensic Sciences UoW Sustainable Environments Research Group

It's #WorldBeeDay! 🐝 We have over 270 species of bee in the UK and from pollinating plants to shaping habitats, our stripy friends do some irreplaceable jobs. Want to give bees a boost? Let your lawn go a little wild, and choose wildlife-friendly flowers & climbers. 🌼

Happy #WorldBeeDay! Enjoying a few moments in our fabulous wildflower meadows surrounding the buildings at work UKCEH Wallingford. In just 3-4 years, packed with yellow rattle, buttercup, red clover, oxeye daisy and more. Mown paths providing bare soil for nesting solitary bees

Are you seeing very few bumblebees this month? 🧵 We're in a gap between 'peak queen' bumblebee (spring when lots of overwintered queens are looking for nest sites) & 'peak worker' bumblebee (mid summer). This year the gap seems to be deeper & more pronounced than normal. 1/7
