Butterflies are #pollinators and get counted in FIT Counts, and there are some great survey opportunities that focus on butterflies via our friends at @ukbms.bsky.social

Just over two weeks to go before the 2026 FIT Counts for #pollinators start up again ukpoms.org.uk/fit-counts Dandelions are one of the target flowers at the start of the season, often attracting flies and bees

~Sweet pollen~ 🌼🌼🐝🐝🌞

I love those fluffy little bumblebees covered in rich pollen.

Some happy little bees enjoying the flowers in our #garden for #MacroMonday. As life returns there, I am also slowly making my way out of hibernation. Hoping I can find the habit of posting again!

Did you ever think you could be important to the survival of a rare, threatened, or endangered species?

👀 Look for an endangered species of insect that lives near you and see if you can help it out.

I'm doing this by growing and eating blueberries. 😋

🐝 Really! There is a type of native bee […]

🐝 In Romania, specialized trucks loaded with built-in beehives are rented by flower growers and farmers for migratory beekeeping. These mobile units are transported between fields to boost crop yields through efficient pollination.

🌳🐝 At the Huasteca Regenerative Agriculture Center we see how a flowering tree attracts bees and life. Pollination helps keep ecosystems in balance and reminds us why planting and caring for trees matters. 💚

Where to buy mason bee houses » Colin Purrington's blog A good bee hotel will have tunnels that are approximately 6″ (152 mm) long and have disposable or cleanable components. The latter can be achieved through the use of (1) disposable paper liners, (2) r...

If you want to buy an insect hotel that allows nesting tubes to be cleaned, here's my listing of companies that sell them. I especially like the ones with observation windows. Thanks for any corrections. #InsectHotels #BeeHotels #pollinators #bees #wasps colinpurrington.com/2019/05/wher...

Colored pencil drawing of a firefly, a monarch on milkweed, a salamander, and a violet with information that reads: The acidity of the water means not many amphibians like them, with a few exceptions such as the leopard frog, spotted salamander, and wood frogs. A few turtles and snake species can be found as well. These wetlands are full of insects though, and they thrive. This is good news for breeding birds, even seed eating species need insects for protein to feed to their young. Wetlands benefit humans as well. They can prevent flooding inland, provide a reservoir that filters water into local aquifers for our well and city water, cleaning it of pollutants for our consumption, and clean the water coming from the land of silt, pollutants, and debris that can damage river and ocean ecosystems. Unfortunately, wetlands are on the decline. Some are drained for agricultural use and commercial property, and many companies want to get their hands on peat and don’t worry about how long it took the wetland above the peat to form, or what a valuable resource the wetlands themselves are. With urban sprawl pushing wildlife into these areas already, the shrinking habitat means fierce competition for food and breeding space. Native species are getting crowded out. Many wetland species are at risk, including several species of carnivorous plants.

Zine day! More wetland babies :). Next week we take a break and I show you what I've learned in about my new baby snake, and some stuff about worms, and maybe grubs and slugs.

Spring crocuses. 💮🌺

Their beauty lasted only a few days and how intense were their scent and colors attracting the first pollinators. The buzz of bumblebees collecting that heavy pollen was something I didn't want to miss.

Microdon is a unique hoverfly genus. Its larvae live inside ant nests where they prey on ant brood. Because of their unusual body shape, Microdon larvae can be misidentified as slugs.

I pre-ordered a 38 pack of plants from Prairie Moon this morning and am getting 6 of these Shrubby St. John's Wort (Hypericum prolificum) to add to our home garden. New plant for me, excited to see how much the bumbles love it. 🐝🪲
