  1. #Fundraiser: Keep #WorldBeeSanctuary Open and Advocating for #WildBees

    "World Bee Sanctuary is the first and only true Native Wild Bee Sanctuary on the planet.

    We've been advocating for, and educating people across the globe about the plight of, Native Wild Bees since 2017.

    A not-for-profit social enterprise, we turned our entire farm over to bees and nature and we are the only Certified Vegan Organic land in Ireland.

    We have from day one bravely told the truth about what is happening to bees and nature and offered solutions.
    We get no Government funding and it is our policy to never accept funding from any source which would compromise our message and mission.

    We work at this 24/7, 365 and have impacted over 30 million people worldwide over the last three years alone.

    However WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW to keep going."

    Bumblebees expend much energy searching for #nectar so efficiency is vital.
    Nectar guides - colourful patterns on the petals of #flowers - help #bumblebees to forage for nectar more efficiently.

    Plastic has become so ubiquitous in the planet’s #environment that #leafcutterbees have been observed using discarded #plastic instead of leaves in the construction of their nests. This is not positive #evolution.

    #Bumblebees made history when over 130 years ago they were brought from England to New Zealand to pollinate red #clover for farmers - the first insect to be introduced to a country to #pollinate a specific plant.

    Bumblebees, honeybees and many solitary bee species collect pollen on their hind legs to bring back to the nest. #Leafcutter bees however collect pollen on hairs on the underside of their abdomens - their pollen brush.

    Foraging #bumblebees return to the nest with on average 25% of their body weight in pollen/nectar.
    Some #bees carry up to 75% of their body weight per trip!

  8. She’s back and she’s got more bee info!

    Not sure what it’s like where you are this morning but it’s yet another grey and very wet one here in this so far greyest and wettest of winters.

    So…here’s a little bundle of sunshine and energy to brighten the place up if even for a moment.

    Take it away #BeeBaby …..

    On a true sanctuary time is but an uneasy interloper.

    Bumblebee queens sit on their eggs to keep them warm.

  10. Look who’s back hogging the bird feeder here this morning. Great Spotted Woodpecker. We had at least 6 of these beauties resident here on the sanctuary last winter. An absolute privilege to watch just a a couple of metres from where I do admin work. And a distraction…now where was I?
