A fab day with our volunteers full of fun, learning and billhooks with hedge layer, Graeme Walker.🥳 Well managed hedges are fantastic wildlife corridors, provide food & nesting sites for #pollinators #birds reduce flooding, give shade and shelter, store carbon and more🐝🦇🦉🙏
🦋How we made wildflower meadows using green hay, check out our blog 🧐👇 tinyurl.com/h4rvb3xk Perfect for #pollinators, people and #wildlife

Not too long now until native trees such as willow and hawthorn will provide spring blossom and a vital source of food for pollinators. Trees are amazing and contribute hugely to a healthy climate and biodiversity ... what a great resource.

Huge thanks to our many partners for all their efforts to help Scotland's pollinators. From Shetland to The Scottish Borders, from Aberdeen to the Western Isles. to the fab. Irvine to Girvan Nectar Network, Pollinators along the Tweed, KSB and many more ... thank you 🐝🌼🦋
People around Scotland are doing more than ever to help save threatened bees, moths, and hoverflies, according to a new NatureScot report. This swarm of support is much needed at a time when many pollinator species are facing declines. Read the story ➡️ orlo.uk/854h4

Lovely to hear of pollinator-friendly projects from East Dunbartonshire Council. Expansion of perennial meadow management – in excess of 12 hectares now – yellow rattle introduced to many sites, and large scale bulb planting – in excess of 250,000 planted in Autumn 2023🐝🌻🌷🌼
Great work by @Nectar_Network ! 👏
Delighted to see our 'Managed for Wildlife' signs proving useful in spreading the word in South Ayrshire. The Irvine to Girvan Nectar Network is one of Scotland's finest pollinator-friendly projects and raising awareness is a key strand #pollinators

@ScotPollinators @LornaCTweets @ScottShanks01 @Nectar_Network @Buzz_dont_tweet @BumblebeeTrust @JaneCStout @PollinatorPlan @fernbraemeadows @NatureScot_SA @treesforlifeuk Esp' good where you can encourage a blossom sequence. In Scotland that might be Gorse>Goat Willow>Blackthorn>Bird Cherry>Eared Willow>Hawthorn>Rowan. Scotland is really exciting for blossom-loving insects. I even found an undescribed fly on pussy willow growing in the pinewoods.
The search for rare butterflies and moths often takes our staff and volunteers to some interesting places 📍👀 In August, the East Coast @SpeciesEdge team along with @BcHighland were given special permission to set up moth traps at two Ministry of Defence coastal sand dune sites…
Ninewells Community Garden in Dundee continues to impress. They've been making a concerted effort to help reverse the decline in pollinator numbers = sensory garden, bug hotel, wild flower meadows, and ‘embrace weeds’ especially dandelions. 🐝🪲🦋🌼 👏
And Lynne from @Nectar_Network speaking about the work that she and her wonderful team of volunteers have on the farm to help pollinators. They are the best! 💪🏻🙌🐝🌸 And me … well, probably a bit wittery. 🙈 *Nearly* had Richard unreeling some electric fence though!
This overgrown seepage bank is home to orchids, marsh valerian, devil's bit scabious & rare flat sedge Blysmus compressus. Without scything & raking off at least once a year all would be lost. Took 6 of us vols all day to achieve! Also found a DBS still in flower & 2 nests of 1/2
Even on a dreich Monday morning one of our Aspens and its golden halo of suckers can brighten the day and lift the heart. #paintingscotlandyellow
Simply fantastic. Well done to everyone involved, and here's hoping the bee bank goes down a treat ... keep us posted 🐝🐝🐝 #pollinators
Hurrah! New solitary bee bank in Yorkhill Park! Thanks to all our amazing volunteers! Beautiful sunny autumn day. Great company & delicious festive-spice muffins kept us going. Thanks to @nature_scot for the ActionEarth funding for materials!💚 #BeeKind #pollinators ☀️🍂🍁🏖️🐝🌼

We've reached the time of year when we drift gently into autumn. Summer fades away. Verbena, a pollinator magnet, is just one of those garden plants that goes over, and it features in our latest blog @ scottishpollinators.wordpress.com
