There are more honey bees on the planet now than at any time in human history.

Keeping hives of domesticated honey bees does not ‘save’ endangered native wild bees - it can make things worse for them.

NEED TO KNOW:

There are over 20,000 species of bees across the planet.

Around 90% of these bee species are Solitary Bees.

40% of bee species are endangered.

There are only 8 honey bee species.

Honey bees are not endangered.

I’m so thrilled to share that today I earned my badass badge. 🤘 My very, very old dryer developed a horrid squeak and rather than buy a new one I chose to research and fix it all by my little ol’ self. I’d swear that 3/4 of the job was vacuuming but now it’s back in business and humming along. 💪

I haven't been taking many pictures the last couple of weeks, (and today it's pouring rain), but here's a photo I took on Christmas Eve three years ago, of a single green lacewing egg in my garden. Think of it as a wrapped present with a bug in it.

Saw a new slime mould today, possibly a Stemonitus.

Checked it again a few hours later on the way back and the ends had small red drops.
