Waggle dance recruitment seemed to increase in usage in more urban environments.
A brilliant study on #foraging efficiency in relation to individual short term memory and communication between bees. Thank you for sharing your research with us at #Ento23 @ElliLeadbeater1 🐝

A beautiful spot to relax and unwind during #Ento23, @UniExeCEC campus boasts a walled garden for you to wander at your leisure when you'd like to muse over the talks, posters and exhibitors 🦋
6 Sep 2023
If you're at #Ento23 and looking for some quiet time then I highly recommend some hammock time in the walled garden (baby not included!). It's a lovely little spot on campus.

A beautiful evening in the good company of fellow entomologists and enthusiasts. Thank you to all who joined us last night, it was a joy to exchange ideas and share stories with everyone - May the buzz of the conversation continue on through the last day of #Ento23! 🦋

🔺Our @itvnews investigation into RAAC in schools back in MARCH was alarming, and parents were understandably worried.
They were right to be. Many will be asking why the DfE waited until now, and days before the start of a new term, to announce schools with it should close?

Exclusive: Tens of thousands of children are attending schools built of lightweight concrete 'liable to collapse' with 'no warning'.
In the biggest schools survey of its kind @itvnews reveals the shocking scale of RAAC - which the govt admits poses danger itv.com/news/2023-03-16/chil…
