#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 40 #Bumblebees have four wings. The two back wings are smaller and are usually attached to the bigger front wings by a row of hooks. This can sometimes lead to the mistaken impression that they only have two wings. #bees #nature

My deep desire to just live in a forest has once again driven me to make a moss blanket. You can’t have too many moss blankets.

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind. Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Rivers support a remarkable variety of life, from tiny insects to mighty mammals. They use our precious waterways for homes, navigation, food and more. 🎈To celebrate 20 years of The Rivers Trust, we've rounded up 20 of the UK & Ireland’s most iconic river species: theriverstrust.org/about-us/new...

For day two of my tree advent calendar, I've chosen this graceful twin-topped alder. When I see it, I get that dose of oxytocin that tells me I'm relaxing. I'm safe. I'm close to home. What #trees signpost your homecoming?

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees

UK bumblebee populations have crashed recently. Help them – and other pollinators – by growing plants that flower in autumn, winter & early spring. Many bumblebees and butterflies hibernate, but they can be active on warm days, and will need food! Ideas for plants: bit.ly/3OhYh7I
