HAPPY WORLD BEE DAY! To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day. FIND OUT MORE HERE: un.org/en/observances…

Happy #WorldBeeDay! 🐝 There are over 20,000 species of bee in the world. Each varies as much in size & colour as in nesting habits, & most are 'solitary' Here are two of my favourites 🧵 A Wood-carving Leafcutter (Megachile ligniseca) bringing a leaf back to line her nest...

Today is #WorldBeeDay – the ideal opportunity to celebrate our pretty little #pollinators! 🐝 Meet the #Australian #beekeepers giving back to #bees after their revolutionary #hive design caused a buzz in apiaries worldwide: ausgeo.co/worldbeeday 🎥 Mel Logozzo

From roundabout to red clover, ☘️ overtaking to ox-eye daisies. 🌼 Just five years ago this half-acre site was buried under tarmac. Today, on #WorldBeeDay, Whipps Cross Meadow is abuzz with pollinators, ablaze with colour, and a part of #EppingForest 🐝🌳 #bee @wfcouncil #bees

My new wood engraving, which I’m trying to decide what colour to print… black seems too harsh. I do like colour!

Join us for INVASIVE SPECIES SAT 10 FEB 4-9pm Fairfax House, Overton Road, London, SW9 7JR The connection between our work is our acknowledgement that we humans are the invasive species- our work raises awareness and highlights the fragility of nature.

My linocut tripych - it has been an absolute joy finding out about the depth and breadth of pollinator species and how they are responsible for so much of the food we eat...80% of crops that we eat requires pollination...and... not all pollinators are bees!
