📄 We just enriched our library with a new resource titled Crop Diversification for Pollinator Conservation. 🌿 It looks at the mechanisms and current evidence base of how increasing the diversity of crops can benefit pollinator biodiversity. Check it out here: wildposh.eu/library #WildPoshResources

💬 Would you buy bee-friendly food? Then help us with your opinion and take part in our survey (approx. 20 min). 👉Your answers will help to make our food system more sustainable and promote the protection of pollinators. Available in 7 different languages! agreconlab.limesurvey.net/328536?lang=en

🐝🦋🪰 Bees, butterflies and hoverflies in agricultural areas? 🙌 Yes, please. In the @restpoll.bsky.social project we partner with farmers and farm advisors to bring #pollinators back to farmed areas. Buzzing to know more? Discover it at www.creaf.cat/en/research/...

🐛🦋🎶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. 😍

On May 20th, we celebrate the #WorldBeeDay! 🐝 💻Find out more about it here: www.un.org/en/observanc...

Pollinators: Vital for nature & human well-being, but increasingly threatened.🌍 @ipbes.net #PollinationAssessment highlights the critical roles of pollinators, the threats they face, and the severe consequences of their decline. 🧪 For #WorldBeeDay, swipe through to discover their crucial roles! 🦋

„Wildbienen sind die Versicherung unserer Ernten“, sagt Prof. Alexandra-Maria Klein in unserem Interview zum heutigen #Weltbienentag. Neben #Honigbienen sich #Wildbienen die wichtigsten Bestäuber von Obst und Gemüse und sorgen für deutlich bessere Erträge. Mehr dazu: ufr.link/weltbienentag-klein

We are #hiring a lecturer and #researcher: - Teaching in ecology and nature conservation - Research on plant-pollinator interactions - Supervision of students - Contribution to our major collaborative projects Start 01.09.2025 Salary according to TV-L E13, 100% 🔗 uni-freiburg.de/stellenangeb...

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

Caught this little pollinator in action 🥰 ... Nature's tiny miracle at work! 🌻❤️🌼 ...

Happy to see that #RestPoll #Butterfly #Valor #Agri4Poll are sharing Living Labs and collaborate synergistically for some project tasks 🐝🦋🐦😃

Long-term management is required for the recovery of pollination networks and function in restored grasslands 🌱🌏 Grassland management, including mowing, should be maintained for a certain period that exceeds at least 75 years 📈🧪 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

The morning #bee 🐝

@cycle55.bsky.social presents results and new methods for farmers to monitor pollinators at a @restpoll.bsky.social Living Lab symposium organized by the Regierungspräsidium Freiburg.

Hembra de Xylocopa violacea (~650 mg) comiendo en flor de Viola odorata y hostigada por un macho de Osmia cornuta (~40 mg), que trata insistentemente de aparearse con ella. Y no se me ocurre nada más que decir. Pasé varios minutos mirando, perplejo, sin dar crédito al sinsentido que estaba viendo.

One of the easiest ways to create homes for insects is to avoid being too tidy. Letting a patch of grass grow long (good for nesting bumblebees), leaving dead stems in situ over winter, and having a wild corner will all help boost insect populations. More: bit.ly/4jGzo4f

Here’s a #MondayMorningMinute with #nature here on The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. Take a moment. #pause Go do some #good. Have the best week you can. If you’re not having a good week - tell someone. And if someone tells you - Listen. Really #listen. #mentalhealth #wellbeing #bees #dandelions 🌍

The morning #bee 🐝

Weshalb männliche Weiden für Wildbienen wertvoller sind und wunderbare Szenen eines Massenflugs der Frühlings-Seidenbiene (Colletes cunicularius)

The first flowers are showing their face and early spring is there. In this period, you can help pollinators by growing valuable sources of nectar and pollen, since they can be short in supply at this time of the year. The art is to pick the right plants for your garden👇Choose: #pollinators

Time to meet our post-doctoral researcher Sarah Larragy at @tcddublin.bsky.social. Sarah is coordinating the case study area in the Kildare region of Ireland as well as organizing other activities such as living lab workshops.
