Spotted a bee a few days ago.

Not the best composition but you see them so infrequently these days.

@laguiri Also, speaking of #pollinator awareness, are you following @thebeeguy ? I learn so much about #bumblebees from him!

I think I owe all my #pollinator awareness to @DoomsdaysCW

I have the tiniest of balconies but every bit helps, right?

Some interesting #Pollinator observations at Rocky Flats NWR yesterday evening. A pollen wasp (Pseudomasaris vespoides) visiting Penstemon secundiflorus, and an American Bumblebee (Bombus pennsylvanicus) visiting Monument Plant (Frasera speciosa). #Bloomscrolling #Biology #Ecology #Photography #Nature #Colorado

Buzz of a Party – Busy Bee and the Endangered Meadow

Busy Bee and the Endangered Meadow is a story about some bees trying to save their meadow from some evil, grasping housing developers. Bea is the hardest working bee in the hive and she comes up with the idea to try and fool the local council that a rare and endangered species lives in the meadow. The developers however are not going to let some bees get in the way of their profit but little do they know that they will be taking on all the creatures of the meadow in a fight to protect their homes.

In the UK we have lost 97% of our meadows since the middle of the 20th century much of them to the obesity of urban sprawl and a planning system unfit for purpose. Some research shows that meadows are very good carbon sinks, perhaps as good as forests. In the UK however, as in many other countries, the countryside has been built over.

There’s T-shirts for children of Alice Wright’s wonderful book cover with or without the story title available from our Teemill site. These are printed on organic cotton and so, are we hope, the lightest of load possible on the environment. You will find out on Teemill’s website the story of this cotton. It does make the items for sale more expensive than less environmentally friendly clothing.
