To celebrate #worldbeeday we've been out with local residents of Drayton, within the Save Our Shrills Somerset project area, looking for bees! Found some lovely species including a very compliant Tree bumblebee @BumblebeeTrust

Somerset is one of the last remaining 5 locations in England and Wales still supporting the rare Shrill carder bumblebee - protect the habitats this species and other pollinators need by helping to shape the LNRS
We are working on a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Somerset. This will provide a single vision for nature recovery and set out local priorities and opportunities for nature. Want to get involved? Visit https://t.co/5if5SpMRqs

First day of August and the @mod_dio Castlemartin Range is open for the month! We found plenty of Shrill carders out and about enjoying the sunshine! Populations are in a little trouble in Pembrokeshire now, so it was reassuring to see so many today. @PembsCoast

Thistle do nicely! This #ForageFriday we're focussing on all the thistles, like this Creeping Thistle, that are adding a splash of purple to grasslands and verges. They're often busy with #bumblebees in July and Shrills have previously been recorded on thistles 🐝#ShrillCarderBee

Keep an eye out for Bird's-foot Trefoil this #ForageFriday 🔍 It's visited by lots of our bumblebee species, including the #ShrillCarderBee. It can flower from June through to September and is a stunning little plant of our meadows and verges 🐝 #BumblebeeFood #RareBumblebees
