Celebrating all our amazing little creatures this #InsectThursday , very much enjoying the # #dandelions that are a massive lifeline for our #pollinators . Oh and only 3 more sleeps until #InternationalDayOfTheDandelion ๐ผ
Pollinators are declining rapidly! ๐
This threatens food security as we rely on them for many of our foods. ๐
Discover how better land management can help stop this decline. ๐

Happy #EarthDay !
Today we celebrate our vital pollinators and their impact on our planet. Let's all commit to protecting them and planting bee-friendly blooms!

๐๐ฐNew study by the FLOWer Lab ๐ธ๐ ๐ ๐ชฐ๐ฌ๐งฌ, led by Catarina Siopa in Journal of Applied Ecology sheds light on the critical role of #pollinators in #crop production by showing that pollinator dependence values across various crops and cultivars is underestimated๐ป๐

An amazing display of dandelions today. An essential source of nectar, especially for early pollinators. #nomowmay #biodiversity #naturerecovery #30x30

๐New paper out! Animal pollinators are more important to crop production than we thought! With the available data, we also calculated new values of pollinator dependence! Check it here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13โฆ

#Bee engaged with the youth.
#WorldBeeDay 2024 is around.
Concerted efforts needed to protect all #bees & other #pollinators from the pesticide menace in EA.
A region constantly facing food insecurity, conserving them becomes critical towards achieving #agroecology balance.
Important new study on the dependence of crops on #pollinators such as #bees by Catarina Siopa et al. Take home: previous studies have under-estimated the role of pollinators for agricultural production - they are even more vital than we realised!
