Bumblebee numbers are declining. Can we use their sounds to protect them?
The BumbleBuzz and @BumblebeeTrust project from the 2024 WILDLABS Awards used acoustics, AI, and citizen science to help conserve these species.
Learn about their project here:

We've had some glorious weather so far this spring. This morning, I spotted my first Early worker of the year (Bombus pratorum) on a blueberry bush in the garden. Looking forward to my BeeWalks next week. How many different species of bumblebee have you seen so far this year?

Lovely to have such glorious weather for some early #FITcounts this year @PoMScheme One small insect and one bumblebee queen (Tree bumblebee, which will be submitted to iRecord) on flowering currant in the sunny Scottish glens!
Last week, @BumblebeeTrust published the 2025 #BeeWalk report, showing 2024 as the worst year on record for #bumblebees. Find out more and how you can help our precious pollinators during our talk at @edfenergy Dorenell Visitor Centre on 11th April 2025.

British pollinators are now starting to fly. Great fun to watch, and to try and identify. Many resources are out there, but here's one I've produced that is free and online flickr.com/photos/63075200@N…. Great coverage of bees, hoverflies etc. Images & species accounts.
We're excited to be talking at @BraemarMntFest
as part of their free 'Conservation Talks' on Friday. Join us to learn more about how hillwalkers can help rare bumblebees in the Cairngorms and beyond! Full programme & tickets: braemarmountainfestival.com/…

A bright, beautiful day for my final Ballater #BeeWalk of 2024. Very autumnal, especially in the ancient oak woodland. No bumblebees today but I did meet two wonderful long-term @BumblebeeTrust members, Geoff & Sue, on holiday in the Cairngorms all the way from Somerset!
