Mites use #bumblebees as taxis clinging to them to hitch a ride into the nest where they feed on pollen/wax/detritus - not the bees!
Most mite species that hang with bumblebees are generally fairly harmless to the #bees.

Bumblebee food demand peaks during March to June. Shortage of food during these critical months can result in dire consequences for colony survival/queen production and risks local population extinction.

A recent study utilising computer modelling and focusing on two common European #bumblebees indicates that #bees need food up to a month earlier than when many recommended ‘pollinator friendly’ plant species actually flower.

Meet Bella.
Newly emerged from hibernation.
Famished.
About to become a mother.
Her children’s father already passed.
Seeking a home.
All alone.
She needs all the #dandelions, willow catkins, #wildflowers, clean habitat and help she can get.
So leave your dandelions grow and don’t use chemicals in your patch.
Give her a fighting chance!
Pass it on!
Please #boost
Thank you.🙏🏼🐝

Had a chat recently with the lovely Samantha for The Animal Friendly Podcast.
We covered a lot, meandering gently but honestly through why we’re here, what you can do to help #bees, the #honeybee nature reserve hoax, the role of #farmers in helping bees, poisoned ‘bee friendly #flowers and all points in between.

We don’t keep honey bees!

Keeping honey bees does NOT help our declining native wild bee populations.
In fact keeping honey bees means more bees competing for ever more precious forage.

For you maybe…but I’m still on summer time!
I think.
How bright are your evenings now?

Some bee species carry #pollen collected from #flowers back to their nest or hive in pollen baskets - #corbiculae - located on their hind legs.

At least 1 in 3 species of bee in Ireland are endangered/threatened with extinction.
Ponder that.
Gone.
Forever.
Extinct.

I closed my eyes for a moment among the #trees…which became longer than a moment…and in my slumber dreamed the tax returns were no longer.
Was found and awoken by @thebeegirl Now back in the cold embrace of the tax returns.
But I brought #fungi content from my brief escape…

Just me the #trees, the #birds and my little #fungi friends.
Absolutely stunned by the quantity and variety in such a relatively small wooded area.

Mornin’.
I’m supposed to be working on tax returns…so…as soon as @thebeegirl turned her back I made my escape.
I ran to the #meadows but the #bees are all gone so I naturally made for the #trees.
I’ve been hunkered down for a while now so expect some #mushroom content!
Sshh!
