We had an informative week with inputs of conventional and ecologically vine producing farmers #RestPoll

Fascinating to learn about the complexities of trying to be biodiversity friendly as a vigneron in the German Alsace with @RestPoll

Plastikverschmutzung schädigt Bienen: Übersichtsstudie in @NatureComms zeigt systematisch schädliche Auswirkungen von Nano-&#Mikroplastik auf #Bienen&andere Nutzinsekten. Ihre Funktion als Bestäuber wird durch Plastikpartikel beeinträchtigt. @naturealexk uni-freiburg.de/plastikverschm…

@naturealexk Actually, have seen them there last year, many broodcells seemed mouldy due to low transpiration options in the plastic, however as they are activ and the population seems large (growing), reproduction outweighs mortallity.

Greenhouses with thousends of mason bees 😃

@naturealexk @BuzzNicholson They take out cocoons to make space for establishing new brood cells. Vertical is not a problem for Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicornis, the two species visible on the picture, but the entrance needs to be sheltered from rain.

@BuzzNicholson And I saw them taking dead cocoons out. Maybe to make space for the lower hatching bees?
