A fabulous way to end the week watching these three Orcas heading up the east coast of the south Mainland, Shetland.

Research indicates that the more plant species there are in a meadow, the more bee species are needed for pollination.
‘Rare species’ #bees often forage on and pollinate plants that the more common species of bees don’t.

It's not leather, it's someone's skin.

Illustration of a goat with a handbag handle attached to their back, making them resemble a purse. The goat looks sad, with a tear under their eye. Above, bold text reads: “NOT YOUR BAG.” The image criticises the use of animals for fashion items like leather bags.

Middle Eastern poppies reflect no UV light.
The same species in Europe do.
European poppies are pollinated by #bees who can’t see red very well but can see UV light.
Middle Eastern poppies are pollinated by beetles that do see red.

🐂❤️‍🩹 Hoy es un día muy triste: han tumbado la @noesmicultura.org

Esperábamos superar este trámite con facilidad, porque el PSOE ya había manifestado su apoyo en la Comisión de Cultura y lo mantuvo hasta apenas 24 horas antes del pleno en el Congreso.

Nectar guides on #flowers don’t lessen the time spent ‘on flower’ by #bees locating #nectar compared to ‘unpatterned’ flowers, but rather improve foraging efficiency by improving landing position and guiding bees to take-off!

Results of a recent study indicate that the ‘nectar guides’ on #flowers actually reduce the time a #bumblebee takes to forage a flower - from flight approach through nectar location to final take-off - by up to 30%!
