Set up pan trap holders in field? No problem! That's why we call it testing the methodology 💪 #EUPOMS #EUPollinators #žumberak

Field work favorite: finding hidden meadows. No path leads to this one. And pollinators were buzzing in a different, long forgoten dialect. #NPRisnjak #mountainpollinators

Summer in the city: collected hoverfly Spilomyia saltuum this morning. Such a fantastic wasp mimic 💘 #zagreb #urbanecology #pollinators

#Drought in Europe is on course to be the worst in 500 years. That’s according to a senior scientist at the European Drought Observatory. So, why is this happening now and what are the consequences? 🧵 Source: Sky News: news.sky.com/story/europes-…

I see this every day, you too?

“Biodiversity is the only defence we have against climate change.” Baseline synchrony between plants and pollinators is dramatically improved with more pollinator species. Lovely invited talk by iBartomeus #Pollinators22

We spent the last week at UMONS in Belgium, attending the Advanced Bee Taxonomy Course. Together with our fabulous instructors, we worked on one #bee genus per day, all chosen for their taxonomic notoriety 🐝🤔 Fun times! #EUPollinators #taxonomy #biodiversity #EUPOMS

7 years ago this field had just been resown in grass for silage. it looked like most Irish fields: uniformly green with no surviving wildflowers. here's how we brought it back to life:

Autumn would not be the same without 🎃🎃🎃 Yet, they will be history if pollinators disappear, just as many other foods we love Visit #PollinatorPark for an eye-opening round of grocery shopping in a future without 🦋🐝🪰: pollinatorpark.eu #WorldFoodDay #EUPollinators

📢Biodiversity Ireland's All-Ireland Bumblebee Monitoring Scheme 2012-21 report is out now! 🙌It generates a multi-species population index as a measure of 🇮🇪’s #bumblebees' health, providing data that'll be used to assess the impact of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan. 🔗bit.ly/3DXUkj2

Four species of Dasysyrphus hoverflies recorded in one relatively small part of Abernethy Forest on 4 June 2022 (neovenustus, pinastri, tricinctus, venustus). Part of the impressive list of insects generated that day. #HappyMemories

A new peer-reviewed paper has found that whilst #pesticide drift mitigation measures (e.g., training, bans, no-spray zones) appear to reduce contamination of non-agricultural areas, hazards to humans and the environment remain. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We're delighted to share a new resource: how residents' associations can help pollinators! This free flyer includes top 10 actions for pollinators, plant lists & tips on how to help these important insects in your neighbourhood. Find out more here: bit.ly/3T7hWcb

Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #retweet as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/8

Mornin’ folks. We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on. Please retweet so more are more informed. Thanks good people. #bees 1/16

Our new research finds that spot-on flea treatments on pets are a major source of river contamination with potent insecticides. Also, owners hands are continually contaminated by contact with treated pets. Pls RT (1/2) theguardian.com/environment/20… Rose Perkins PAN UK
