It’s always good to see our #handmade bee hotels in their new homes … and it’s even better when we see bees making them their home too 🐝😍 Thank you so much to Sue for sharing this fab little video of a leafcutter bee nesting - love it🥰 #earlybiz

None of our national parks are wild enough to withstand the shocks of the extinction and climate crises. Tell the UK Government and devolved administrations to mandate #wildernationalparks and restore nature on a large scale Sign the petition act.rewildingbritain.org.uk/…

Making a garden or community green space more wild can be as simple as letting the grass grow. Areas of short grass are good for mining bees & birds - but let some areas grow long too, to encourage wildflowers & insects. More wildlife-friendly grass ideas: bit.ly/3iSZqnU

Bumblebees can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But 97% of our wiłdflower meadows are gone. So every time we plant a nectar-rich flower, it could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

Only 3% of UK wildflower meadows are left. RT if you think we should give bumblebees and solitary bees a fighting chance by growing more wildflowers in our gardens, communities and green spaces, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

Dear councils, Please don't overmow or spray verges & green corners. Give wildflowers like foxgloves chance to grow & be a lifeline for pollinating insects like bees. Biodiversity is better than non-essential 'neat & tidy' 🐝 More: bit.ly/3e6t4lt

Bees need to drink, but can drown in deep or fast-flowing water sources. So as warmer, sunnier weather arrives, setting up a beebowl is a quick and easy way to #HelpTheBees. Here's how: bit.ly/2KQesqp 🐝💦

We’ve had political promises to save #nature before. And they’ve been missed time & time again. Now we call on @BorisJohnson to put promises for nature’s recovery in law. Plz sign our petition for a #StateofNature target in the #EnvironmentBill. ow.ly/QZ9b50En33M
