"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."
Read that again: **116** times.
Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??

Getting it implemented, not so much.
Our neighbours have bumble bees and love our gardens, we have 6 to 8 wild hives moved a year, these are my little friends that live in the soil under roof tile topped walls.
I'll have to watch them more closely to see if they are causing problems I've not noticed.
What could possibly go wrong
Very good news about the bees.
Wonder what seeds they planted? ❤️ 🐝
Have you seen this. 🙂
This article uses a more suitable bee pic than the Times.
It seems so simple when you stop seeing the world as individual, disconnected entities.
44% of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture.
80% of agricultural land is used to raise livestock for meat and dairy.
Meat, dairy, (and farmed fish) provide just 17% of the world’s calories.
- Ritchie & Roser (2019).
A village in Spain was saved by a Roman dam during this years floods because it was good quality and well placed, as other modern systems failed. We can be better than romans mostly.
And exactly - why do we have to argue that conservation, rewilding and biodiversity management is important when it's so abundantly clear in stories such as these?

Precious few seen in littoral North Portugal these days. We must protect our Pollinators if we are to avoid the need for GM. We must also protect those who are vulnerable to FGM & mandatory Circumcision. We must all have the freedom of choice. Our Planet. Our bodies. Our lives. No one else's!
I love and support them.
Different in other countries though.
Certainly where they share the same flying area, wild bees tend to be outcompeted by hived bees, but mostly the wild bees avoid hived bees.
