#ThrowbackThursday #BeesNeeds @pomscheme.bsky.social

🐝 Yesterday at Kew, we celebrated pollinators in full flight for #BeesNeedsWeek2025!
Visitors joined scientists, tasted honey, met a live bumblebee nest & explored how 100+ bee species help feed the world.
Huge thanks to all who helped spotlight pollinators & how we can protect them 🐝🌍
Today we welcomed @marycreagh.bsky.social to @rbgkew.bsky.social to celebrate Defra's #beesneedsweek2025 sharing fascinating info & research about bees & other pollinators with garden visitors along with our partners on the day @ukceh.bsky.social & Uni of Reading. www.kew.org/kew-gardens/... 🐝🐝🐝
