Flower-filled dikes attract bees: ‘Dikes are insect highways’ | Radboud University A large census conducted on 157 dikes along rivers in the Netherlands revealed that more and rarer bee species live on dikes than previously thought.

A large census conducted on 157 dikes along rivers in the Netherlands revealed that more and rarer bee species live on dikes than previously thought. According to ecologist Constant Swinkels, many more dikes can be made bee-friendly. #bees #science #ecology #dikes www.ru.nl/en/research/...

#Pyroxenite composed of #chrome #diopside of the Jurassic-aged Great Valley #Ophiolite, Diablo Range, #California. #Lavas and #dikes there are mainly #calc-alkaline of island arc/forarc origin. Some samples more geochemically #MORB -like suggesting incipient rifting.

Some sheep grazing behind a barbwired fence on a steep dike full of green grass. On the right we see part of a building with some windows. On the left are some bushes. In the background is the tower of a church and some leafless trees.

I thought it was about time for another typical Dutch scenery. This is near Beuningen.

YVR at risk: could Vancouver’s airport go underwater? | The Narwhal The Vancouver airport (YVR) sits on an island that could be flooded amid rising sea levels, according to new federal warnings

Vancouver airport to spend up to $80 million to raise dikes and upgrade pumps!

#HobbyStreak day 1084:

Took fellow #history nerd Bob past many #Frisian #churches, dwelling mounds (or #terps ), and #dikes and pointed out the ages of the churches by the bricks used because I'm a ducking freak like that.

Also took him to #starfortress […]
