The evolutionary lines leading to today’s bumblebee and honey bee species have their origins in very different environments - #bumblebees in the northern temperate zone, #honeybees in the tropics and subtropics.

Apologies for the radio silence! Busy week in my role as Chair of @peakdistrictartisans has meant admin prioritised over creativity 🙁
I'm now prepping for the next PDA show at which I will be exhibiting, our #WInterArtFair details in the promo image and here https://www.peakdistrictartisans.co.uk/winter-art-fair/
I'll have recent original works and new prints for sale - would be great to meet fellow fedipeeps if you are local? I am working on converting members from Fb and Insta (unfortunately they are creatures of habit 🙄)
roughly one year ago I managed to get my very first goldcrest picture and it was the first picture that I posted here I think 🙂 now two days ago I found like 20 specimen of them bouncing up and down in a bush, so I waited for my chance. really love how the wings where flapping in this shot ❤️

Taking a risk planting wallflowers out on the allotment, what with pigeons and fleabeetle. But for the price of a packet of seeds worth it if they perform and I get loads of scented flowers in early May. The bed was chopped and dropped a month ago and covered with cardboard. Lifted today and cardboard with accompanying slugs went on the compost. All my beds get this treatment and it does help with slug control. The soil is full of worms and invertebrates.

Morning. Definitely feels like autumn today. Still a lot of beauty out there in the garden. The colours are still there, even in the flower seed heads. Have a good weekend folks.

Research found that synthetic fertilisers and pesticides sprayed on flowers alter the electric field around these flowers.
Bumblebees/pollinators detect this change & are less likely to land on these flowers to forage.
