Masked bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae: Hylaeus spp.) spend a lot of time collecting pollen for their young, like this one on a sulphur cinquefoil (Rosaceae: Potentilla recta). They lack the transport hairs most bees have and carry it in a secondary "honey stomach." Clayton Michigan, 27 Jun 2014.

Hoverflies (family Syrphidae): As their common name suggests, these important Pollinators are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers. They are the second most important pollinator after Bees. Lovely photo taken by Richard Burkmar in Middlesex, UK. #hoverfly #hoverflies #wildlife #pollinators

We also visited the experimental fields at IRTA Mas Badia, where we were able to see the #LivingLabs and the experiments currently being carried out. On our way to #BaixEmpordà, we visited Fructícola Empordà orchards and Mooma’s facilities 🍎🍷

Next week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social
We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations.

First documented case of plant smelling like an ant to attract pollinators
For the first time, scientists have documented a plant that mimics the smell of injured ants to attract pollinators. A dogbane species native to Japan, releases chemical compounds that match the odor ants give off when attacked by spiders. Flies...

Most of us can’t do all this but all of us can make our yards more hospitable to native bees and pollinators.

Many people, those that do & don't buy honey, perhaps have very little idea about where their honey comes from or the bees themselves. I certainly learnt a lot when writing my two bee books for children. This research points out that wild bees are now in danger. theconversation.com/wild-honeybe...
Wild honeybees now officially listed as endangered in the EU
The wild cousins of beehive honeybees are disappearing – here’s why that matters.
