Hellebores are a fantastic source of early spring nectar to feed buff-tailed bumblebees and there are loads of attractive varieties to choose from @The_RHS @BrisBotanicGdn #bees#pollinators
They’re finally done! The pattern was intended to make an orange underwing but I went rogue with the colours 🧶 I’m sure there’s a moth that looks like this somewhere.... #lockdownknitting#scicrafts
Super impressed at day one of the European Bumblebee Conference, so many engaging talks - if you couldn’t make it, highly recommend going to the second session next Saturday! 🐝
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We will be putting a spotlight on women who inspire YOU today. Make sure to use #ConservationOptimism on your posts or reply to this one so that we can create an awesome thread of women scientists. #WomenInScienceDay

Dressed fleas from Mexico, as seen being imaged by @flygirlNHM in #NaturalHistoryMuseum: World of Wonder last night! We are in the process of digitising the 260,000 specimens in our flea (Siphonaptera) collection. Explore them on our Data Portal: data.nhm.ac.uk/search/expert…
A morning of excellent talks @SCAPE_Poll_Ecol#SCAPE2020 and I already have >20 tabs to follow up on. Definitely an advantage of virtual conferences is being able to link papers in the chat!#pollinationecology
