We’re very happy to have hosted this year’s annual meeting in Barcelona. It’s been an intense but truly rewarding week — and we’re already looking forward to next year’s gathering! ✨ @uni-freiburg.de

We also visited the experimental fields at IRTA Mas Badia, where we were able to see the #LivingLabs and the experiments currently being carried out. On our way to #BaixEmpordà, we visited Fructícola Empordà orchards and Mooma’s facilities 🍎🍷

Over two days, we exchanged updates on the project’s progress and worked collaboratively across the different work packages, covering #research, cooperation with #farmers, #communication, and much more 😍🍏

No pollinators, no food! 🐝⚠️ At CREAF, we work to restore pollinator habitats across #Europe Here’s one of our contributions 👇

Next week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations. 📜👉 doi.org/10.1111/2041... @annatraveset.bsky.social @imedea.bsky.social

In case it might be of interest to anyone who comes across this post... you can listen to my book 'Dancing with Bees - a journey back to nature' on Audible. Preview here: www.audible.co.uk/pd/Dancing-w... #bumblebees #pollinators #trees #nature #naturewriting #wildlife

Most of us can’t do all this but all of us can make our yards more hospitable to native bees and pollinators. youtu.be/rGRqeN3PCNw?...

Many people, those that do & don't buy honey, perhaps have very little idea about where their honey comes from or the bees themselves. I certainly learnt a lot when writing my two bee books for children. This research points out that wild bees are now in danger. theconversation.com/wild-honeybe...

This week, the partnership of the #EUproject RESTPOLL 🐝 @restpoll.bsky.social came together to share knowledge and experiences during the Annual Meeting in #Barcelona.

Fruit production in Spain and some Nature Group team members inbetween millions of apples #RestPollAGM2

Apple robots at work @restpoll.bsky.social

Fascinating to learn about the integration of biodiversity with apple production in Spain as part of the RestPoll Living Labs @restpoll.bsky.social AGM

@uni-freiburg.de explains RestPoll members the Nagoya protocol and it's implications.

RestPoll is today learning from IRTA Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentaries in Catalunya about their research about sustainable food production 🐄🍓🍇🤠

Wildbienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen fehlt Lebensraum. Auch das Ziel der EU-Biodiversitätsstrategie, den Anteil naturnaher Flächen in der Landwirtschaft auf 10 % zu erhöhen, reicht nicht aus. Das zeigt eine neue Studie in Science mit Beteiligung der #UniFreiburg. ufr.link/bestaeuber-lebensraum

🐛🦋🎶Hey there @restpoll.bsky.social , how are you? We're here until 4 pm today, together with the Plant-Insect Interactions Team, at TUM Campus Weihenstephan in Freising. We'd love to see all of you! #WorldBeeDay for #pollinators

It's World Bee Day! 🐝 We are thrilled to be part of #RestPoll, a Project aiming to provide society with tools to reverse wild pollinator declines & position Europe as a global leader in pollinator restoration🌻 https://restpoll.eu #WorldBeeDay #Pollinators #Biodiversity #Ecology @restpoll.bsky.social

Happy #WorldBeeDay with this photo of the beautiful Melecta luctuosa, which I have seen twice in the last week. 😍 Einen schönen #Weltbienentag mit einem Foto einer wunderschönen Pracht-Trauerbiene Melecta luctuosa, die ich in der letzten Woche gleich zweimal gefunden habe. 😍

These books just arrived. Our new crop pollination book with info about fruits, vegetables, bees an conservation measures came out 😊 I hope we will also produce versions adapted to other countries.

Our first #RestPoll regional seedbags arrived with native annual and perennial plants. The mixture can grow in every housegarden or balcony to promote wild bees and other pollinators.

Gave a seminar about long-term bee and wasp temporal dynamics at @nmbern.bsky.social today. Good thing about collaborating with a curator? You get to marvel at the hidden entomology collection 😍😍😍

Green Sweat Bee!!! I had a terrible time finding bugs who would slow down enough to be identified for #InverteFest. And then I got to this patch of Golden Ragwort which was covered in pollinators!! #NativePlants #invertebrates 🌿

Leafcutter bees (Megachile) love my redbud tree. These bees are excellent pollinators. #insects
