Sussan Ley just admitted on #afternoonbriefing that her negotiations with the PM on new environment legislation was via text message - her last message went unanswered
Are you fucking kidding me Sussan Ley?
You think our environment laws should be a text exchange?

The Natural Environment Bill could restore nature across Scotland. 🐦🌱🐝
But there's a problem.
Part of the Bill introduces powers that threaten our most important wildlife protections.
A nature Bill shouldn't do that! Join us in calling for this to be fixed 👉

Whoa, a new study shows that when viruses infect queen bees, it causes their pheromones to fade & ovaries to shrink. The hive senses the drop in fertility & overthrows her for not laying enough eggs 🐝
Takeaway, viruses aren't mild and bees are brutal

Queen bees are violently ousted if worker bees smell weakness
The hive rulers produce a pheromone that helps keep workers loyal. What happens when it's gone?

Bumblebees are gentle giants. They’re not out to sting, but to help pollinate and support the environment. When one raises a leg in warning, it's their way of telling you they’re not a threat. Let’s respect their space and continue to protect these important pollinators. 🐝
