Our Annual Pollinator Count and Seminar is coming up on 17th July!. Take part in the count, hear about this year’s results, and share your ideas to help guide pollinator conservation in London. Your observations and curiosity can make a real impact!. #PollinatingLT

As a charity, we depend on the generosity of people who care about pollinators and green spaces. There’s a donate button on our website, and even £5 could support a survey!. Together, we make London bloom. #PollinatingLT

Forget-me-nots change colour after being visited by a pollinator, signalling to the next insect that they’ve already been emptied. It’s a clever way of saving the bee some time and spreading the pollen more efficiently!. #PollinatingLT

Some flowers, like from the coffee plant, use caffeine to attract bees, helping them remember the flower and come back for more. But in high doses certain natural compounds like caffeine or nicotine can actually deter or harm them. Nature’s balance is a fine one. #PollinatingLT

🦋 Our ecologist Konstantinos spotted a Painted Lady butterfly in St Dunstan in the East Church Garden — a stunning sign that even tiny urban green spaces can support vital wildlife. A win for nature in the heart of the city! 🌿 #Biodiversity #PollinatingLT #London

Pollinators don’t see flowers the way we do. Bees love blue, purple and violet patterns that guide them to nectar. Your garden could be a treasure map in bee vision!. #PollinatingLT

This Tuesday we marked 5 years of PLT with a guided tour of Charterhouse Gardens and a celebratory lunch at Wax Chandlers’ Hall 🐝🌿. We reflected on all we’ve achieved and looked ahead to the next chapter in protecting London’s biodiversity. #PollinatingLT #UrbanNature

We rely on donations to fund our work with pollinators across London. If you’ve ever enjoyed a bee-friendly garden, a city flowerbed buzzing with life, or one of our events, please consider giving back. Even a small donation makes a big difference, button on our website!

Different flowers suit different pollinators. From long-tongued bumblebees to tiny hoverflies, body shape affects what nectar they.can reach, and that means plant diversity matters for pollinator diversity!. #PollinatingLT

🎉 PLT turns 5!. Join us for our 5th Anniversary Walk and lunch on 10th June at Wax Chandlers. Let’s celebrate five years of community, nature, and pollinator progress together. More event details and booking info on our website. #PollinatingLT

A garden that flowers across the seasons is better for pollinators than one that blooms all at once. 💐. Different pollinators are active at different times of year, and they all need food when they’re on the wing. #PollinatingLT

Of around 250 bee species in the UK, many solitary bees nest in the ground. But in central London, 93% of the non-honeybees we found were cavity nesters like the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis)!. #PollinatingLT #pollinators #bees

World Bee Day is a reminder of how vital bees are to life on Earth. At PLT we’re working to make urban spaces more pollinator-friendly. You can help by:. 🌼 Planting nectar-rich flowers.🏡 Building bee hotels.🚫 Avoiding pesticides. #WorldBeeDay #PollinatingLT

Butterflies go through 4 life stages: egg, caterpillar, pupa and adult. In contrast, insects like grasshoppers skip the pupa stage and grow through several ‘mini adult’ nymph phases. Complete metamorphosis can reduce competition between adults and their young. #PollinatingLT
