#Fridaybee A tiny guest at the picnic ๐ This honeybee visitor landed on a pop-chips bag. After cleaning its antennae it left for a nearby flower! #BeeFriday

I forgot to add the alt text ๐ง so I'll put it here: the photo shows purple budleia blooms with a fresh orange comma butterfly foraging on them. In the background out of focus are old and new buildings, the perimeter wall, a tree and grass.

In the kirkyard yesterday ๐ฆ. Deacon Brodie is buried here in an unmarked grave. A cabinet maker and city councillor by day - leader of a burglar gang at night. He was hung for his crimes. The invertebrates who know nothing of any of this inhabit this tiny green space ๐ #Edinburgh #commabutterfly

Wasps are great! And I've just learnt a new word - vespicochory, the dispersal of seeds by wasps.

No bees = no pizza, no coffee, no fun. ๐ Pollination may look like a snack break, but it keeps 75% of flowering plants (and 1/3 of our food) alive. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #pollinators #gooutside #takeawalk #bees #savethebees #saveourpollinators

Thank you very much ๐ I thought the bee looked so dramatic when slowed down which just got funnier with music - but I guess it doesn't appeal to everyone ๐คญ The bee however is still out there... probably!

Did u know? As summers become hotter & drier,one of the best things you can do for wildlife is to add shade by planting a hedge, where small souls can keep cool & safe. Ours has rambling roses, Euronymous, evergreen honeysuckle,Cotoneaster, Hawthorn,Yew - a ramshackle line of cool greenery.๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฑ๐๐ชฒ๐ธ๐ฆโโฌ๐ฆ
