Want to conserve bees? It's not just about flowers: safe nesting places are crucial and most species are ground-nesting. Found this nice site with long grass and sandy mounds for burrowing #pollinators #bees #conservation #wildlife @davegoulson.bsky.social @bethbees.bsky.social

People often ask me, do bumblebees ever sting? Not usually, their first choice is to show their annoyance by waving. So if you ever see them doing this, back away… slowly 😂

Nature is not a blocker to growth. The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍

A thriving natural world is the foundation of economic growth and vital for health and wellbeing. Language that pits these against each other is unhelpful and deeply concerning.
