#Pollination economic values: "there is a marked lack of data on regionally important commercial crops that are essential for the food security of many millions of people, particularly in developing countries"

This is not a wasp! Amazing mimicry from a harmless fly.

Listening to BBC Radio 4's GQT and they talk about making gardens good for bees and butterflies. Does no one want to admit that FLIES ARE MASSIVELY IMPORTANT POLLINATORS.

We are on the edge of our seats waiting for this little gem to come out. In the meantime, check out Dr Erica McAlister's first 'must-read', The Secret Life of Flies... everything you want to know about flies and so, so much more.

Hello, we are THE HOVERFLIES, & we mean you no harm. Some call us "sweat bees," implying that we can sting. But it's all a ruse. We're flies! Really. No stingers here, promise! We are pollinators, crop-pest predators, & cuties to bootsies. Please, no squish. 📸: Alvesgaspar

Introducing our new Team Entomologist Dr Dylan Hodgkiss (Dylan Hodgkiss). As a brilliant #pollination ecologist and hoverfly specialist, we're thrilled to have him as part of our #fly family!

Thanks so much, Erica - you've made our daisies!🌼 As always, super buzzed to have your support!

Happy One Year at Olombria to Dr Dylan Hodgkiss and Dr Monsur Choudhury! How time ‘flies'! We’re so lucky to have these two pollinating our company with their expertise and insight on everything Ento. So buzzed to have you as part of our Fly Family! #entomology #anniversary

Interesting read; it just omits the underdogs of the pollinator world. Research on #flypollination still lags far behind studies on #bees, and the true impact of flies on agricultural systems goes unrecognised; this is where we’re helping out. Have no fear, #hoverflies are here!

We're ‘buzzing' to announce an open position for a Seasonal Field #Entomologist! If you can pollinate our company with field surveys and #research trial experience, we’re waiting to hear from you. Fly across a message to our hiring team for more info! [email protected]
