Today's "fun" is that someone made two purchases in Uxbridge Sainsburys using my #Nectar card. First of 7000 points and then 8500 leaving my balance at *minus* 6634.

There seems to be two morals to this tale:

1. balances aren't updated in real time so it's possible to "overdraw"

2. the only validation on a purchase is the QR code of your card number. So a perp can make one and try it and repeat until they find one that works.

Keeping with the male bumblebee theme:
Male #bumblebees do not forage for #pollen and #nectar for the colony but rather forage exclusively for nectar for themselves to maintain energy for mating flights and mating!

Thistles are a vital #nectar source for male #bumblebees specifically (also for many other #pollinators!).
Their current status should be revisited in both a rural and urban context.
#thistles do good!
Leave them grow.

# 245 contd.
Plants use nectar to attract #pollinators.
It’s the sugar in #nectar that makes it appealing.
Nectar containing more sugar contains more energy but it also gets thicker/stickier as the sugar content rises.
