Spoiler Alert: They’re the first brood of worker #bumblebees and they’re all female! These small bumblebees that you may have seen fitting snuggly into a buttercup as they forage over the past while, very often - depending on species - are in appearance mini versions… 2/9 #nature #bees #education

Okay folks it’s hot out there so we need to talk about #bees and #water. Please #repost / #share. Thank you for caring. BEES NEED WATER! BEES GET STUCK IN AND DIE IN WATER! Here’s what you need to know! Given that they can collect water, their nectar based diet and their ability to generate… 1/11
Please also ensure to keep the water topped up daily and don’t be afraid if the water is ‘nature’ dirty. Also please be vigilant about other water sources in your patch which may be dangerous for #bees. Buckets of water, watering cans and paddling pools/swimming pools are… 8/11 #bees #water #summer
Good evening good people… #theBeeAt3 bee facts will return tomorrow folks. In the meantime here’s a stunning wee Small Copper butterfly hanging out with me earlier. #butterflies #nature #smallcopper #worldbeesanctuary #saturday
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 306 # 305 contd. The research indicated that a two week gap in the availability of forage to a bumblebee colony during March/April could result in up to a 90% reduction in numbers of daughter queens subsequently produced. #bees #nature #bumblebees
…when it comes to nesting. They are not aggressive and not interested in you. They will not sting (preferring flight over fight) unless you persistently threaten them or accidentally stand on one or squash one. #Bumblebees do not swarm - you will notice much coming and… 10/14 #worldbeesanctuary
You’re lucky if you have a #bumblebee nest in your garden/yard. It is a privilege to be able to provide a space for these wonderful, vital and often #endangered creatures. If they choose your patch it’s your responsibility to choose to #protect, watch out for and share space with these #bees. 13/14
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 317 # 316 contd Research showed that in the first 2 minutes after noxious stimulation (touching one antenna with a heated (65°C) probe) #bumblebees groomed the touched antenna more than their untouched antenna. TBC #bees #nature #science #education
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! Actually…I’m not talking about anything. I’m not uttering a word. Rather I’m sitting here in silent awe letting the beauty, the sounds, the movement, the sheer wondrous life of it all wash over me. So I guess it’s…now that’s what I’m not talkin’ about! #nature

This was a 9-story residential building. Now it's rubble. This is what the Russians do to us if given even a brief ceasefire: they stockpile weapons so they can more effectively kill Ukrainian civilians. This is why we will never surrender to them. Surrender means death.

New day, new civilian car bombed by Russian drone in Kherson. Fire broke out .At least 5 people wounded. A dull Monday in Ukraine .
That's why it's vital Oswestry is reconnected to the mainline - a rail link would mean businesses could attract employees from a wider area; young people could access more education options; and greater investment and regeneration.
Tom Homan admitted they’ll arrest anyone — even those who have committed no crime. He fancies himself a tough guy because he’s the enforcer of Trump’s inhumane immigration tactics. But he was too scared to testify before @HomelandDems and me this week.

“Why are you marching here?” “Because we are getting overrun by f**king Muslims!” 5Pillars journalist Robert Carter today's far-right Unite The Kingdom rally in London and explains how these so-called “patriots” care more about their nasty obsession with hating on Islam and Muslims.
When we strive to "meet people where they are," how do we reach the conclusion that we know where they are??? @kaibosworth.bsky.social ponders how to create opposition to pipelines, finding improbable candidates for #climateaction in traditionally conservative parts of the United States.
Two years ago, Trump’s campaign disrespected Arlington National Cemetery and was hostile toward cemetery officials. Remember that when he uses veterans as props this Memorial Day weekend.

Multiple people asked if the surgeon removed the liver to sell it. For multiple reasons, I am confident that’s not what was going on. Another common question was regarding the staff and why they didn’t stop him. Here are my thoughts as a board-certified general surgeon.

The tech utopia of the 2010s ignored one crucial rule: the Neutral Point of View. A hive mind thrives on objective facts. But what happens when you introduce subjective political opinions? This is why the hope of a wiki government didn't get further than books.
They’ve got one of the music channels on the TV at work, and this abomination keeps coming on. Absolute fucking racket. State of it.
“Some of his allies in the Senate that maybe the FBI process is not necessary...These nominations, these names are being floated without even preliminary diligence as far as I can tell on the part of the president's team.” — @greggnunziata.bsky.social on @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social
Is Nederland alleen voor de blanken? vraagt Jan Paternotte. Volgens #fvd kamerlid De Vos zijn Baudet, Wilders, Rutte, Jetten en Jesse Klaver "Nederlanders die ‘een keer een Indonesische grootouder hadden’, die vallen volgens haar in een ‘grijs gebied’" 🧐

Taganrog was not rear tonight. It was inside Ukraine’s drone range. ㅤ Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces reported two Tu-142 aircraft taken out at a Russian airfield, plus an Iskander launcher near Taganrog.
RFK Jr’s ideas are more in line with the Klan than the Kennedy family. He pushed reparenting on a 2nd podcast called “Latino Town Hall” & said that COVID-19 is an ethnic bioweapon designed to spare Chinese & Jewish people. When someone keeps telling you who they are, believe them.
Women’s pain is too often ignored. At the Women and Equalities Committee, I pushed for stronger accountability in care.
A quick stroll down pit lane shows that we’ve completed roughly the length of 2 Coke 600s.
