First little wander outside in nature for a few weeks! It was a #wildliferescue kind of walk. Not far, but managed to rescue this #pillmillipede #pillwoodlouse #pillbug . Isnβt it beautiful. I think itβs a #pillmillipede but not 100% sure! Love its glistening black carapace.
Quick #dandelion fix for #SundayYellow lighting up the verges, illuminating alleyways and dotting spotlights amongst the grass providing all kinds of #Pollinators with a feast.

This queen giving us that #FridayFeeling π This was just before the helping hand π€² Nothing like a βbumβ boogie! Bumblebee Conservation Trust #beethechange
There are 270 different bee species in the UK. 24 are bumblebees of which 8 are common, the largest being the buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris). 'Bombus' means 'buzzing' and 'terrestris' meaning 'of the earth'. Let's plant for them!!

My #bumblebees are late to the party! But hereβs a beautiful #bufftailedqueen . Sheβs got some nectar rich #hellebores but itβs the #orientalborage #trachystemonorientalis that is her chosen #nectarsource ! One hellebore flower has as much nectar as 157 snowdrops! #pollinators
