#Bumblebees are struggling in #UKHeatwaves - but you can help them
Justin Rowlatt, July 21, 2026
Excerpt: "Conservationists say the best way to help is by creating more flower-rich habitats, so bumblebees can find food even as the climate becomes more extreme.
"Dr Sarah Beynon is an insect expert whose west Wales farm is managed for wildlife as well as food. She has planted #meadows, #willows, #hedgerows, #TussockyGrasses and late-flowering crops to give insects food through the summer.
" 'When we came, this farm was a wildlife desert,' she says. 'In 10 years, it's become a nature reserve.'
"Her message is that people do not need acres of land to help. A pot of native wildflowers on a doorstep or windowsill can act as a small refuelling stop for insects moving through a human-dominated landscape.
" 'Your flowerpot is a service station,' she says. 'It's somewhere to rest, refuel and carry on.'
"Dr Richard Comont adds that putting in a pond [#BeeWateringStation] - however small - and shade can also help.
"#Flowers growing near water tend to produce nectar with more moisture in it, he says. Bumblebees cannot collect water in the way honeybees do, they get most of the liquid they need from nectar, so wetter nectar can help make colonies more resilient in hot weather.
Whilst planting dense #shrubs gives bumblebees places to escape the heat of the sun, and can allow them to move between flowers through cooler patches of air."Learn more:

Die Natur PRÜFt nach ihren eigenen Regeln ob ein Platz zum Nestbau geeignet ist. 🐝
Bei uns sollte das Bundesverfassungsgericht prüfen ob eine Partei sich an alle Regeln hält. Genau für solche Fälle haben wir das Grundgesetz mit dem Artikel 21!📔PS: wenn ihr wisst was das für ein Insekt ist, schreibt einen Kommentar! Das interessiert mich 😊

It's always lovely to spend time in the garden... Especially with little bee friends who show up wearing their best frilly bloomers.

350,000 pollinator species. 15 European bumblebee species now threatened. Butterfly extinction risk up 76% in a decade. Only 41% of FAO-analyzed countries include pollinator action in their biodiversity plans. The bees did not deregulate the pesticides. Same spreadsheet, same hands. The full read, with Druid grounding:

Today is the 9th World Bee Day. Despite many new studies, wild bee numbers are lower than last year due to pesticides and habitat loss.

From 2020: #Mexico has 1,900 species of #bees and they’re all at risk: biologist
by Susy Buchanan
May 21, 2020"All of Mexico’s 1,900 different species of native bees are at risk of extinction, says Ricardo Ayala Barajas, a National Autonomous University researcher based at the Chamela Biology Station in Jalisco.
"Most of Mexico’s bees do not sting and only 47 species produce honey, but all native species are endangered, explained the researcher on the United Nations World Bee Day, May 20.
"In an interview with the newspaper Milenio, Ayala said that around the world there are approximately 20,000 different named species of bees, and like in Mexico, every one is threatened by the use of #insecticides and #deforestation.
" 'A great effort is required to try to reduce the use of insecticides and make more careful use of natural resources, for the future of humanity and to care for the bees that help plants reproduce and generate fruits and seeds,' Ayala said. 'We must appreciate and understand them more in order to prevent them from disappearing.'
"Bee conservation is on the rise in Mexico, just as it is globally.
"In #Guanajuato, people who kill #bees or harm their #habitat can be fined up to 8,000 pesos (US $350). In #Yucatán, the government and communities are collaborating on a bee conservation project after significant bee populations have died, thought to be a result of crop dusting. A similar campaign is underway in #Campeche."

#UK - #BeeFriendly plants for every season
"Bees and pollinators need 3 things to thrive – food, shelter and water. With some planning around the seasons, we can help our vital pollinators by growing flowers from spring to winter, and not just when the sun shines.
Use our handy guide to pollinator-friendly plants – including trees, veg, herbs and flowers – to offer a valuable source of nectar and pollen through the year.
Experiment with different shaped flowers – the tongues of bees, hover flies, moths and other pollinators vary in size – see what grows well in your garden."
