One of the bumblebee colonies in my PhD project showing off their tags! The coloured circle tags are their identification tags, and the green square tags are their RFID tags to track their foraging efficiency in the field 🐝 #bumblebees #bumblebeeresearch

Bumblebees foraging on the Phacelia out at Fenswood 🐝🌸

One month later and all 16 flight cages are built and the Phacelia are coming along nicely. Only two weeks till the bumblebees arrive 🌸🐝

11 out of 16 flight cages built and first signs of my Phacelia tanacetifolia coming through! A very successful first week in the field 🤩🐝🌸

First flight cages built for my first PhD project. 6 down and 10 to go - watch this space! 🌸🐝 @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @swbiodtp.bsky.social

Honoured to receive the Highly Commended Poster award at the IUSSI NW European Section Meeting 2024! My poster explored how anthropogenic electric fields affect honeybee foraging 🐝

Such a rewarding experience to share this work. Thank you to everyone at @iussi-nwes.bsky.social
