Revived an exhausted bumblebee I found in the street with some sugar water yesterday. She went from barely moving to buzzing off in the sky in less than an hour. Sugar water mixture was two spoons granulated white sugar with one spoon water (don't feed them honey or brown sugar!)

The results are in from our Big #ButterflyCount 2021 and sadly, we've seen the lowest ever number of butterflies and moths recorded, despite receiving more records than in any other Count. You can read our full article here 👉 https://t.co/5EcUKU0B1W 📸 : Tony Cox

Very exciting morning in the garden today with @TimStrudwick bee boffin for the @NorfolkWT He found several Bellflower Blunthorn Bees, rarely seen in Norwich, visiting our self-sown Nettle-Leaved Campanulas. A perfect example of why weeds are important for wildlife!

We’re realising we’ve accidentally fallen into the belief that ‘a day that starts with taking a bee photo we’re happy with is going to be a good day’ The sun’s shining, the sky is blue and here’s today’s photo… it’s going to be a good day 🐝💚🌍 #solitarybee #BeesNeedsWeek
