Bees make our world go round and the ignorance with which their environment is treated needs to stop 🐝🍯 In Irish folklore they are wise and sensitive little creatures and it was believed that should they suddenly leave their hive then they had sensed the presence of death and

I don't think many of us stop to appreciate the intricate beauty of a Nettle 🌿 Nettles support a wide array of insects as well as sustenance for birds who feed upon the seeds. Even worms consume these and spread them in their casts 🪱🪲 They grow were fairies live and some

Have you seen any of these flowers in your garden? Reducing mowing gives wildflowers a chance to grow naturally, no need for seed packets. Mow less all summer & help feed hungry pollinators.

Huge sigh of relief as this 4-week old chick was released to live another day. 😅 It's got a fortnight until flight. 🚀🤞#FarmingHeroes #Thankyou to our #famers. Please get in touch if you suspect chicks before cutting - we can try to catch chicks and use the drone to help too.
