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.

This morning for the final day of @RoyalSociety #SummerScience weekend, Dan Harper from Saviour Bees CIC will be guiding people through how to make a #BeeHotel to help protect our pollinators! If you've got a bee hotel at home, we want to hear from you! ➡ okt.to/ZgKmdu

A great success this morning making our #BeeHotel with The Royal Society #SummerScience and Saviour Bees CIC Now to find somewhere to put it #SaveTheBees

Great to see coverage in Transport Monthly of how our surplus lorry curtain material is helping conservationists Saviour Bees CIC to create homes for the UK’s endangered bees. Read more: bit.ly/S-flexTranspor…

CAN YOU HELP? 🐝💚🌍 We’re researching the secret lives to bee hotels… how they’re made, how we’re using them and are they busy? We’d love to hear about yours: SurveyMonkey.com/r/beehotel It’s #BeesNeedsWeek, the sun’s shining… time for some garden exploring? 🌱🌿🌳 Dave Goulson

We’re realising we’ve accidentally fallen into the belief that ‘a day that starts with taking a bee photo we’re happy with is going to be a good day’ The sun’s shining, the sky is blue and here’s today’s photo… it’s going to be a good day 🐝💚🌍 #solitarybee #BeesNeedsWeek

Managed to track down a pantaloon bee this morning… been anticipating their return to #GreatYarmouth since last July 🐝💚🌍

Very exciting morning in the garden today with Tim Strudwick bee boffin for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust 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!

HELP US HELP THE BEES: Do #beehotels work?🐝 Alongside Saviour Bees CIC as part of The Royal Society #SummerScience, we've launched a national survey on their use & effectiveness. Your response could give our #pollinators an important boost! ➡ okt.to/K93Aru #solitarybees

First ivy bee this weekend #ivybee

An unexpected leafcutter bee arrival encouraged us to delay the close of our bee hotel survey If you haven’t supported our research into the secret lives of bee hotels you now have until 17th Oct surveymonkey.co.uk/r/beehotel Thanks for your support 🐝💚🌍 #savethebees #solitarybees

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. You can read our full article here 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/news-and-blog/… 📸 : Tony Cox

If this Bzzzz Feed video about the #ivybee has sparked your curiosity for the last UK bee of the year to emerge… Then this great episode of #LivingWorld on BBC Radio 4 will take you a bit deeper into the wonderful life of this solitary bee here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0… UKCEH

Today scientists from Earlham Institute, @biouea and @cambridge_uccri will be in the Green Zone at #COP26 (virtually) for a Q&A session on research to save the bees and share our #summerscience #beetrail. The Royal Society @nashalselection Elie Kent Lynn Dicks Saviour Bees CIC

This is how we appeared at #COP26. Thanks for hosting us The Royal Society #2050challenge. Here's the science bit, for the geeks out there: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…. More papers coming next year I hope, based on Elie Kent 's work in blueberry farms with BerryWorld Group.

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 will be excellent! One for the calendar Norwich peeps… Dr Will Nash is one of our local superheroes when it comes to bees and biodiversity 🐝💚🌍
