Whenever someone asks me, 'What wildflower is easy to grow & good for bees?'....which happens quite a lot, my answer is AlWAYS the dandelion.

When these fitties grow in clumps, that bursting yellow is just magic & bees, like this buff tailed bumblebee love them.

Let them grow!

Nomad Bees look a little like wasps but are actually Cuckoo Bees, solitary bees that enter the nests of other bees and lay eggs there, stealing the pollen that the host has collected. Here we have the Goodens, Marshams, Early and Variable Nomad Bees

Destruction of a precious ancient bluebell woodland in the Kent countryside under a deluge of illegal landfill waste shows the utter failure of environmental law, complete inaction by the authorities & increasing lawlessness in the UK. Let me tell you the story of Hoads Wood ๐Ÿงต

Dandelions are one of the most important plants in our gardens at this time of year. Vital early source of pollen and nectar for our Bees.

Farmers + environmentalists are on the same side. We need food + nature + a stable climate to survive. Intensive agriculture is the biggest driver of nature + climate collapse + in turn these threaten food security. Time to stop divisive nonsense + focus on joined-up solutions.

Yesterday I was in Burgerbrug at Huiberts Bio Bloembollen organic bulb nursery in search for bumblebees. With 7 degrees and 4 beaufort, hail and rain I didnot see any bee. The scene however..... Buy organic bulbs, the non organic ones are drenched in pesticides.

I'm looking for a mortgage lender who is ethical. Has anyone got a 'green mortage' from someone you'd recommend? I'd rather avoid the fossil fuel and deforestation loving HSBCs of this world.

Just seen a comment on a Responsible Bee Keeping event...

'I'm a commercial honey bee farmer and I can't see how I'm having any environmental impact'

REALLY?? How can this be your job yet be so ignorant of the impact of releasing millions of non natives to compete for nectar?

In search for Bumblebee queens in Delft. At 50 metres from these beehives a large crocusfield completely lacked queens. 700m away plenty of them. Are there islands around beehives where bumblebees are completely outcompeted? Bumblebee Conservation Trust
