St Alban’s Primary (Hants) began half term at @emsworthsc to share simple ways in which we can all help pollinators. They were a great team! #PolliPromise

🌷 All'Orto botanico di #Firenze sono fiorite azalee, #piante carnivore e narcisi. 🌿Il malessere del nostro pianeta ci regala una #primavera anticipata. I curatori Giulio Ferretti e Giulia Torta raccontano a @corrierefirenze l'anomalia dovuta al #cambiamentoclimatico.

New paper based on data from hundreds of farms across the world highlights that global pollinator losses cause 500,000 early deaths a year. Insect declines mean reduced yields of healthy foods like fruit and vegetables with associated impacts on health. theguardian.com/environment/…

Reading over some excellent @XpolliProject materials recently. Good to see education sector heavily involved, and pollinator citizen science ideas being shared between Scotland and Italy. xpollination.org

Little pockets of colour providing autumn pollinator power at St Alban’s Primary, Hants. What’s growing in your school?

🥤 It is fascinating watching butterflies feed. Using a straw like tongue called a proboscis they drink liquids (nectar, rotting fruit juice or even dung!) 📈You can help ‘take nature’s pulse’ by taking part in the @savebutterflies Big Butterfly Count until this Sunday!

Interesting visualisation AI tool by artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg - Pollinator Pathmaker to design the best possible gardens for bees and other insects to enjoy. You can use the Pollinator Pathmaker online tool to create a planting plan tailored to your own patch #XPolli
