Bees can bee playful! Bees can learn from one another. Bees sleep and likely dream... of flowers? Bees are thinking, feeling creatures, akin to us. 💛🐝✨

Bees ask for so little: a variety of seasonal flowers, undisturbed nesting sites (in soil, under leaves, and in stems and logs), a relatively poison-free life, a generally predictable climate. Helping pollinators helps so many other plants and critters 💛 savebees.org

Exceptional morning today! 3:45am start and headed to site before sunrise. Found scores of marbled white (with dew!) butterflies and some other butterfly species. Was also treated to barn owl, kestrel, deer… Best nature morning I’ve had this year and no one else there!

Such high-energy on a searingly hot June day… how they quiver so when alighting, as though eager to keep their flight muscles moving! (Oregon Swallowtail feeding on Armenian aka Himalayan blackberry… my personal nemesis, the blackberry that is, oh my goodness what a plant)

Question: What’s the link? Answer: You feed the bees & they feed you. Simple.

The most advanced technologies in the world are trees, mycelium networks, river systems, and entire ecosystems. I’m personally tired of idolizing human made technology that destroys the very systems that actually sustain life and hold real wisdom.

Okay, folks: The big El Niño update is now out on Weather West! This sure looks like it's going to be a dramatic year from a global climate perspective, and there are major implications for extreme events (across California, the U.S. West, & well beyond). weatherwest.com/archives/438…

This fearsome male Leafcutter bee diligently patrolling his turf… is much smaller than he looks. He’s lost half a sniffing stick, but it hasn’t slowed him down. [Alameda, CA 6–6-26] #bees #nativebees

It's #WorldBiodiversityDay. I'm fighting like hell to make sure the very biodiverse place I call home will remain for wildlife & humans. Arizona, sadly, is for sale - all of this, at Copper Creek in the Sky Islands (Galiuro Mts.), is threatened by foreign #mining:

Simply put, if you are not tech savvy: Almost every website, app, server, and online service is now extremely vulnerable because new AI-assisted tools make it much easier to discover security flaws. This is not alarmism.

🐝The Colletidae family of bees are so captivating, unique diverse and widespread here in North Americanl and elsewhere! The thread below goes in depth on the numerous Colletidae species found in Britain.
1. For #WorldBeeDay I'm going to celebrate British PlastererBees, Colletes. Let's start with the largest & earliest-flying, Colletes cunicularius. It used to be confined to western dunes using Creeping Willow. But a new form using sallows has recently spread across southern UK.

Chainsaws in Wilderness Areas. Hunting in National Parks. Oil and gas development in Wildlife Refuges. The boundaries around the last wild places are dissolving.

If you don’t know about highly toxic flea treatment pollution and it’s impacts on river life, pollinators and birds, time to find out- theguardian.com/lifeandstyle… If you need all the information it is here - wcl.org.uk/docs/2026/Flea … @ChrisGPackham @TonyJuniper @SteveBackshall

I try never to look at ads here but… “garden essentials”?! The ground nesting bees would definitely not approve. Sigh… this world of ours!
