Tallinn's newly completed Pollinator Highway fenced off

A former wasteland beneath high-voltage power lines in Põhja-Tallinn has been transformed into a green space offering a variety of play and sports opportunities. For now, however, locals can only admire the playgrounds from behind a wire fence.

Climate crisis could force wild vanilla plants and pollinating insects apart, threatening global supply

Many wild Vanilla species are dependent on insects that pollinate them. But what happens if plants and insects are forced into different habitats? Researchers have examined if shifts in species’ geographic ranges could lead to future mismatches. They found that climate change may lead to reduced overlap in suitable habitats for wild vanilla and their pollinators. This could negatively affect the survival chances of these wild species, especially those dependent on specific pollinators, but also threaten the future of the vanilla crop and global vanilla supply.

Native #bees #pollinate an estimated 80% of flowering #plants around the world, & understanding the #pollinators’ behavior helps us sustain the production of our #food. #Forests, #prairies, #grasslands, #deserts & #wetlands rely on bees to maintain their unique #biodiversity. The more we track bees, the better we can understand the role different species play in the pollination of #crops such as pumpkins in the Mid-Atlantic, apples in Pennsylvania, tomatoes in California & blueberries in Oregon.

#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.🙁

Each variety of apple has slightly different colours. And they transition from a tight deep pink bud to a nearly white full flower. This is Yarlington Mill a cider which is spectacular this year. Honey bee a bonus, often they are distracted by other coloured blossoms #pollinate #apple #orchard #blossom #Aotearoa #NewZealand #cider

Where are all the #bats – alarm as numbers fall in England

Decline blamed on washout summer driving down population of insects, butterflies and moths they feed on

There has been a decline in UK insect populations for decades, linked to the climate emergency and widespread use of pesticides.

Fewer #insects reproducing this year is likely to mean fewer insects next year, Spowage said. “It’s a downward spiral.”
