¡Enhorabuena por esa foto y por el trabajo realizado! 👏🏻👏🏻🐝🐝

Denis Michez (Mons University) follows up at the @safeguard-pollinators.eu final meeting by updating us on the status of wild bees and hover flies across Europe #bee 🐝 🦋 🪰 - key message, we now have distributional data to underpin conservation strategies for wild bees and hover flies across Europe

🧵1/4 🚁➡️🐝 A drone needs a data link and remote computing. A honey bee does not. With a brain smaller than a sesame seed, a honey bee makes rapid, context-sensitive decisions while flying. Efficient intelligence is not the same thing as more computation and bees are a striking reminder of that.

Hi! How are you all today? The second day of the meeting is about to begin. 🐛🦋

We've just started!

🧵1/4 ⚡🦋 Electrostatic pollination by butterflies and moths Butterflies and moths accumulate electrostatic charge as they fly, allowing them to pull pollen grains off flowers without even touching them. In other words, they can literally attract pollen through the air. doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

✨ Kick-off of the @butterfly-project.bsky.social & @ProPollSoil Living Lab in the Region of Murcia! Bringing farmers, researchers, companies and public bodies together to co-create climate-resilient, sustainable almond farming-supporting pollinators 🐝🦋 and healthier soils 🌱

‼️WildPosh results have been added to Safe-Hub! All current project outputs can be found in the Hub's knowledge library. In the future, all WildPosh articles, policy briefs, datasets, reports, and other materials will be available on the platform. 👉 Explore Safe-Hub: safeguard-pollinators.eu

👀 In case you missed it: WildPosh featured in La Vanguardia Back in September, our project coordinator, Professor Denis Michez, sat down with La Vanguardia to discuss how citizen science and AI are transforming biodiversity monitoring. 👉 Read more: buff.ly/JqgBPFF

🧵1/5 🐛 If we are serious about halting pollinator decline, we must stop treating soil as a passive backdrop. For many pollinators, soil is their habitat. Ignoring it means overlooking one of the most fundamental pillars of pollinator biodiversity. Photo credit: User:Famartin - Wikimedia Commons

🐝 Just learned that Lotmaria passim has been hanging out in the Canary Islands since at least 1998! 🏝️ We found this trypanosomatid in honey bee populations, marking the earliest known global record. 🐝 #honeybees #pollinators #ecosystemservices doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

Ready for 2026! 💪🏻🐝🧬

What a good new! 🐝🐝

He subido a observation.org una colección selectiva de referencia de insectos polinizadores que he registrado y fotografiado en Cazorla y, en menor medida, otros sitios ibéricos. De momento van ~2600 obs y ~800 especies, pero no está acabada La entrada la tenéis aquí: observation.org/users/878312/

So good news before Christmas! Very proud of the first paper of Micaela’s thesis 🐝🦠🧬

🚩 Europe’s wild pollinators are disappearing fast, according to the first Europe-wide #IUCN Red List assessment in over a decade. 👉Learn more: wildposh.eu/news/iucn-wa...
