Can we have a big shout-out for dandelions? These wildflowers will be back in just a few weeks - offering a vital early food source for pollinators including bees & butterflies, and supporting over 50 insect species. RT if you’re going to let them grow 🐝

It's started already: many councils' over-mowing of public grassy areas. Dandelions, celandines, clover - humming with life, lifelines for pollinators - mown down to lifeless, 'tidy' grass deserts. Who wants their council to give nature a chance instead?

Dear councils, If you manage small verges like this, they could be lifelines for pollinating insects next spring if you reduce mowing and don't spray them with weedkillers. You'll be saving bees and butterflies by saving time & money. Looks better too! 🐝

To help a grounded, struggling bumblebee - which is probably hungry and tired - place it on a nectar-rich flower. As last resort, if no flowers available, offer the bee a white sugar & water 50/50 mix. (Don’t offer honey as this can spread viruses) 🐝

This shows what can be done in our cities and towns. RT if you’d like to see more healthy green spaces boosting biodiversity and providing a lifeline for pollinating insects like this fantastic wildflower meadow at King's College, Cambridge at Cambridge University. Let’s bring nature back 🐝
