Are you seeing very few bumblebees this month? 🧵 We're in a gap between 'peak queen' bumblebee (spring when lots of overwintered queens are looking for nest sites) & 'peak worker' bumblebee (mid summer). This year the gap seems to be deeper & more pronounced than normal. 1/7

Wishing Dr Rob a happy retirement - we'll miss you! 👏😢

It's the end of an era in Biological Sciences. Dr Rob Herbert is leaving us after 32 years. 👨🏻‍🔬👋 His passion for science inspired countless students over the decades and his puns have amused us all. We will always remember how much energy costs. 80p!🤣🤣 #UoWBioSci

Happy #WorldBeeDay! Enjoying a few moments in our fabulous wildflower meadows surrounding the buildings at work @UK_CEH Wallingford. In just 3-4 years, packed with yellow rattle, buttercup, red clover, oxeye daisy and more. Mown paths providing bare soil for nesting solitary bees

It was a beautiful day at our Lakeside Campus @worcester_uni for a bit of biological recording! Lots of interesting finds, from hawk-moths to newts 🦋🐌🐞🐝🪲🕷️🐜🦆🦢🐇🐁 @UoWBioSci @UoW_SERG
A lake in the background with some flowering marginal vegetation in the foreground. There is lots of flowering ragged robin, which has pink flowers with ragged edges to the petals, and yellow flag iris.

What has happened to all the Isle of May guillemots? The first egg was the latest ever but adjusting for that we should still be peak laying now and the cliffs are terrifyingly empty. Even those that have laid don't seem committed and are losing their eggs at an alarming rate.1/2
