We are back from the field! 🌿 Soil, plant, and trait sampling in Burgos and Bardenas is now complete for our collaboration with @berdugolab.bsky.social 🏜️ Excited to see what comes out of all this effort! 🤓 @luisjachueca.bsky.social @ainhoamagrach.bsky.social

Yesterday we participated in the Jornadas de Naturaleza - Sopelako Natura Astea. PI @ainhoamagrach.bsky.social introduced the diversity of Basque pollinators, while postdoc Estefanía discussed wild bee nesting strategies. The day wrapped up with a field excursion and a bee hotel workshop 🐝
Ainhoa presenting about global and local pollinator diversity to a crowd of mix ages. A group of people looking for wild pollinators in an urban meadow. Leading a workshop creating wild bee hotels. Estefanía introducing different nesting strategies for cavity nesting species to a crowd of mix ages.

A week ago we hosted this group of brilliant researchers for #Basktability — ate incredibly well, walked through some of the Basque Country’s best landscapes, and swapped more ideas than I can count. Seven days later my brain still hurts, in the best possible way.

Wrapping up two months in New Zealand with Manpreet Dhami at Bioeconomy Institute and my brain is absolutely buzzing 🐝 Pollinator microbiomes, several proposals submitted, and more ideas than I know what to do with. What a privilege. Until next time, Aotearoa 🌺

I had a great time talking about pollinators, hummingbirds, and why biodiversity is the foundation of resilient ecosystems with @scihanna.bsky.social. We discuss how diversity helps ecosystems withstand shocks and why it matters for both nature and people. Listen here: www.scilux.eu/episodes/hum...

Big day today 💙 Maddi defends her PhD thesis, and I couldn’t be more proud. What a long journey it has been — full of work, learning, challenges, and perseverance. Seeing her reach this milestone reminds me how far she has come… and how much is still ahead.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining "the Bee’s Knees" podcast, where we talked about our latest research on honeybees and what it means for wild pollinators. 🎙️🐝 You can listen to the episode here: thebeesknees.website/wild-pollina...
thebeesknees.website
Pollination Overload: Why More Honey Bees Don't Always Mean Better Crops (Ep. 67) - The Bee's Knees
Can having too many honeybee hives in our landscapes be detrimental? Dr. Ainhoa Magrach led a comprehensive review that brings fresh clarity to a long-standing question: how does the number of honeybee hives in a landscape affect wild pollinators, plant reproduction, and ecosystem health? We explore how the overuse of managed honeybees can sometimes undermine biodiversity and agricultural productivity and discuss sustainable practices that can make a difference.

I’ve never been a runner, but I’ve started lately—and it’s been amazing for clearing my head and managing stress. I’m slow, awkward, and very much a beginner… but I keep showing up. Still a turtle, but a resilient one. 🐢✨

Academics are stuck in a game we always lose. A for-profit publisher offered me $1K a year to edit one of their journals — work worth far more. I said no. We write, review, and edit for free, then pay to publish and read. Time to stop playing the game. #publishingsystem #academia
