Delighted to have given an invited talk yesterday on farmland bumblebee resource supplementation to the team @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social
A fantastic charity and such an important interface for collaboration. The paper is here: bit.ly/41RtXaP and keep an eye out for a blog I'm writing for them too!

Really enjoyed displaying my poster and research, representing two great unis, and meeting so many great people and potential collaborators. Glad my title brought as much joy to others as it did me!!
Crucial new meta-analysis of pollinator requirements in agricultural landscapes shows that butterflies need a min of 37% of semi-natural habitat, whereas bees need 16-18% and hoverflies 6%. Where this is not possible greatly increasing habitat quality can help. natuurkennis.nl/wp-content/u...
