@EllieChowns @lynnejones_exMP Please don’t waste money on bee bricks, they don’t work!

Last week I led a debate on the environmental standard for new housing, calling for: maximum energy efficiency, solar panels on roofs as standard, swift bricks and bat boxes, flood resilience, and tackling embodied carbon. Vital to ensure new homes are warm homes!

This is an excellent bit of comms by Labour. Jon Richardson, in a bath with a beer, telling you how Sunak made his millions from the downfall of our economy. Really important message, brilliantly delivered.

Hello , I’ve written another letter to @antanddec about the ongoing appalling abuse of animals on @ITV programme @imacelebrity . I’ve tried to be polite but my patience has run thin . If you agree with what it says please RT . #ImACeleb

@keithwmcmahon @britishbee @BeeCraftMag @SussexUni @NCarreck @yolanda7979 It looks like a small colony, so best chance of success would be a new one.

Hi, does anyone have experience of requeening an observation hive? Or do I just put a new colony in? ⁦@britishbee⁩ ⁦@FlowerScapes⁩ ⁦@BeeCraftMag⁩ ⁦@SussexUni⁩ ⁦@NCarreck⁩ ⁦@yolanda7979⁩

Great to see @FlowerScapes seed mixes looking so stunning in @HHTCNews #haywardsheathtown

Did you know there are over 20,000 species of bee in the world!?

@justingsouter @NEBEES I’ve been talking about this for about 10 years! 😄 Finally nice to see it being carried out!

End mowing of road verges to create huge wildlife habitat, says UK study = great article. theguardian.com/environment/20… I still remember Dr Karen from @FlowerScapes doing a talk on this at @NEBEES several years ago 🐝

More Rosa x odorata 'Mutabilis' flowers. One has attracted the attention of a bee. Definitely an 'open' bee-friendly species (and variety) of rose. #roses #summerflowers #bees

It's the end of the BBKA's Asian Hornet Week. A week in which I hope you have learned more about Asian Hornets & now feel confident about identifying & reporting them! And of course when we have seen 1st confirmed report of them in Gosport #bees #AsianHornetWeek

Our #bees and other pollinators are in danger. Without them, we wouldn't have 75% of the world's food! We need to protect our pollinators to preserve our biodiversity and secure our future of food.

Busy bees at the allotment 😁 #bees #plotlife #allotment
