Instead of sending flowers – which are often grown abroad, packaged in plastic, have a high carbon footprint, and last just a couple of weeks – send herbs! Many herbs have nectar-rich blooms that attract bees and butterflies too 🐝 More eco gift ideas: bit.ly/3F0eWv2

Very cool blog here harishsnotebook.wordpress.com/2025/02/23/t... Endlessly pursuing efficiency damages underlying relationships. And it's our invisible relational infrastructure that offers resilience & flex in the system. We should value it more. Thanks @janestr.bsky.social for sharing this.

Each honey bee has unique ways of dancing the waggle dance. Could the success of the waggle dance be related to this uniqueness? This study reveals the waggle is a diverse form of communication that helps improve finding food. sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/… Image: Emmanuel Boutet

White Clover is a pretty, low growing wildflower which flowers from May to autumn 🌱 It's loved by Bumblebees, Butterflies and Moths 🐝🦋 You can even grow it as a lawn instead of grass as long as it's not mowed too often and is allowed to flower💚 (see ALT text on photo for lots more info 😊) #MHHSBD

What a day. Sunshine ☀️ some gentle warmth & a brunch with the lovely Manira. Time flew by (and too much has flown by since we caught up). Won’t leave it as long next time.

Been doing some gentle spring clearing today. Especially where the spring bulbs are coming through & flowering. Love the Witch Hazel in all its subtle but look at me flowers. #springisnear

My day started with an early morning walk. By chance, I happened to look back, if I hadn’t I would have missed this peeking through the trees. It was starting to hail & sleet. Then breakfast & an 4 hour gab fest with a good friend. #timeslowingdown

If you plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence, it could help hedgehogs, hoverflies, bats, dunnocks, bumblebees, mice, moths, coal tits, butterflies, dormice, blackbirds, frogs, fieldfares, beetles, robins, solitary bees… 🐝 Here’s how: bit.ly/40YAjG7 #nature #biodiversity

What’s the opposite of Happy Bunnies? These 🐰🐰🐰 getting their health checks. They fought me to go in the carrier. Then were the most well behaved loving rabbits in the vets. They ran outside & into their hiding place when home. I will get #bunshun for weeks. Yet healthy for geriatric #rescuerabbits

For most of the year, Grey Herons are seen alone, but around February they head to communal nesting sites, known as heronries. Here they will lay their eggs, with chicks hatching in March and April, making them one of the earliest nesters in Scotland. 📷 Ben Andrew

Please help bees, butterflies and birds by reducing the mowing this year! By leaving a patch of grass in your garden to flower you'll be helping wildlife while reducing effort, cost and carbon emissions. Cartoon courtesy of @sepponet.bsky.social #nature #wildlife #biodiversity
