Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. They are a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝

Did you know they can find food and mates by smell and taste alone?

Cities are classified as Urban Heat Islands when they experience much warmer temperatures compared to rural areas due to human activities. 🏘️🌡️
This is one of the reasons for rising temperatures but trees can be a solution to their effect.

Mornin’ folks.
We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on.
Please retweet so more are more informed.
Thanks good people.
