BEES ARE RAPIDLY DISSAPEARING

Native wild bees are in serious decline with 40% facing extinction and 25% no longer showing up on records worldwide. Many conservation efforts focus on honeybees which are not endangered — it's Bumblebees and Solitary Bees that need our help. Keeping honey bees does not save #Bumblebees and #SolitaryBees and is actually making this already serious problem worse.

81 BILLIONAIRES HAVE MORE WEALTH THAN 50% OF THE WORLD COMBINED

While bee numbers have declined and climate breakdown has become ever more obvious across the planet billionaires have continued to get richer and more numerous. 2024 saw 204 new billionaires and 2025 has seen their influence and power wielded like never before."

Sorry so late.
Busy talking to people all day.

Thanks folks.

Bumblebees may avoid foraging for #pollen when #flowers are wet/damp with rainwater or from morning dew which would make grooming pollen into their pollen baskets more difficult.

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.

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.

Sorry we’ve been so light on here for a while. Only so many hours in the day and so much to do!

Inside the narrow waist (petiole) of #bumblebees cooler blood pumped from the abdomen is heated up as it passes warm blood returning from the head and thorax.
This process is known as ‘counter current heat exchange’.

Over 75% of the 115 leading crop species are dependent upon/benefit from animal pollination. Only 28 of these 115 crop species are wind & self-pollinated.
We need #bees #insects #birds #animals.
We need to realise this.
Fast.

Mornin’.

“Because all #bees are equal and equally in trouble, aren’t they?”

Aren’t they?

The UN tells us it’s #WorldBeeDay today. But they ought to tell us the truth about saving bees as well.

Thanks to @LauraByrneStory and @TheJournal for having me!

C is for…

Cosmos, Corbiculae and Common

Cosmos - an annual flower much loved by #bees

Corbiculae - the pollen baskets on the rear legs of some bees used to carry pollen back to the nest.

Common - as in the most ‘Irish’ of #bumblebees, the ginger haired Common Carder.
