"It opened my eyes to the connection with plants."

Bees inspired me in ways I never expected. A family friend introduced me...

🐝 The Ripple Effect - as explained by @SirDavidAttenborough!
When bees thrive, everything blooms. One small action for pollinators can spark big change in nature. It’s all connected... and it starts with you.

#TheRippleEffect #PlanBeeLtd #PollinatorsMatter #BeeTheChange #SirDavidAttenborough

ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators. The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.

(2/2) We’ll survey 🌺flower-visiting insects🦋, bats🦇, and birds🐦on selected plant species.

Can’t wait to see what we discover! 🔎🔎

Don’t miss out on our final project location next week!

#ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #Curaçao #DutchCaribbean #Bats #Birds

We’ll:
🪰 Survey pollinating insects, especially flies
🐝 Study the societal value of pollination and dependence on pollinators

See you next week!

🦋 This week, we're spotlighting the final Living Lab in the #ButterflyEUProject : Milano.
In & around Milan, pollinators face pressures from urban sprawl, pesticides & habitat loss in both recreational & agricultural zones. Awareness is also critically low.

#LivingLabs #PollinatorsMatter

(1/2) #LivingLabs focus on 📍 Southern Norway!

In Landøy, abandoned coastal heathlands are being restored after decades of neglect following the 1960s fisheries collapse. Restoration supports pollinators, carbon storage, and cultural heritage.

#ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #SouthernNorway

(2/2) This dynamic landscape offers a real-time lab on biodiversity & farming.
We're exploring:
🌱 How different land uses support pollinators
🍓 How pollination powers local food production

Stay tuned!

(2/2) Willow isn’t just fuel—it’s food for early-spring pollinators and helps bumble bees thrive later in the season.

We’re tracking:
🌸 How #willow supports pollinators
🔁 How #pollinators support the willow supply chain

#ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #LivingLabs #Bioenergy #Agroforestry

(2/2) 🦋Which pollinators visit #flax and how do they benefit nearby plants🌿? Can flax farming boost biodiversity and reduce environmental impact🧑‍🌾? We're exploring these questions in #Zeeland. More next week!

#ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #LivingLabs #Biomaterial

(2/2) Intensive almond farming threatens biodiversity & pollinators. We're testing agroecological practices to measure effects on:
🐝 Pollinator health & diversity
🌼 Pollination & almond yield

🗓️ New site every Thursday—stay tuned! #ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #Agroecology #AlmondFarming

Bees Face New, Surprising Threats That Endanger Us All A new global report warns that bees face unexpected modern threats—like war, microplastics and light pollution. But solutions exist, and protecting pollinators may be the key to saving ourselves.

Bees are now battling war, microplastics and antibiotic pollution. A new global report says their survival—and ours—hangs in the balance. #SaveTheBees #BiodiversityCrisis #PollinatorsMatter

🐝 “Bees are vital to our existence!”
This one’s from the EU, but it applies just as much here in the U.S. 🌎
Want a thriving garden?
🌼 Plant pollinator-friendly flowers.
🍓 The bees will thank you with a bountiful harvest.

Did you know that 1 in every 3 bites of food depends on pollinators like bees?

Let’s celebrate these tiny heroes and learn how to protect them.

#BeeAware #PollinatorsMatter #WorldBeeDay

Buzz into action this #WorldBeeDay, 20 May! Bees are vital for pollination, food security & biodiversity. Let’s protect their habitats, plant bee-friendly flowers & say no to harmful pesticides. Every little action helps these tiny heroes thrive! #SaveTheBees #PollinatorsMatter

Tiny honeybee winter cluster surrounding queen & frozen in time. Last OA vapor was after solstice, but likely too late for viruses. Tomorrow I pull up my bee suit, continue to study & build a healthy apiary #superorganisms #deadfall #varroamiteviruses #firstyearbeek #pollinatorsmatter

My eldest son asked me why our British Royal Gala apples from Kent were so small. I suggested it was due to poor pollination. On eating one of the apples I think I’m right, no seeds! #PollinatorsMatter
