RestPoll

📄 We just enriched our library with a new resource titled Crop Diversification for Pollinator Conservation. 🌿

It looks at the mechanisms and current evidence base of how increasing the diversity of crops can benefit pollinator biodiversity. Check it out here: wildposh.eu/library

What we do. RESTPOLL project: Restoring Pollinator Habitats in Farmed Areas

🐝🦋🪰 Bees, butterflies and hoverflies in agricultural areas? 🙌 Yes, please. In the @restpoll.bsky.social project we partner with farmers and farm advisors to bring #pollinators back to farmed areas. Buzzing to know more? Discover it at www.creaf.cat/en/research/...

Give the Ribwort Plantain some urban space to feed pollinators #wordbeeday

We played bee memory in Freiburg too

🐛🦋🎶Hey there @restpoll.bsky.social , how are you?

We're here until 4 pm today, together with the Plant-Insect Interactions Team, at TUM Campus Weihenstephan in Freising. We'd love to see all of you!

#WorldBeeDay for #pollinators

Looks amazing 🐝💚💚💚

It's World Bee Day! 🐝
We are thrilled to be part of #RestPoll, a Project aiming to provide society with tools to reverse wild pollinator declines & position Europe as a global leader in pollinator restoration🌻

Happy #WorldBeeDay with this photo of the beautiful Melecta luctuosa, which I have seen twice in the last week. 😍

Einen schönen #Weltbienentag mit einem Foto einer wunderschönen Pracht-Trauerbiene Melecta luctuosa, die ich in der letzten Woche gleich zweimal gefunden habe. 😍

On May 20th, we celebrate the #WorldBeeDay! 🐝

Pollinators: Vital for nature & human well-being, but increasingly threatened.🌍

@ipbes.net #PollinationAssessment highlights the critical roles of pollinators, the threats they face, and the severe consequences of their decline. 🧪

For #WorldBeeDay, swipe through to discover their crucial roles! 🦋

These books just arrived. Our new crop pollination book with info about fruits, vegetables, bees an conservation measures came out 😊 I hope we will also produce versions adapted to other countries.

Our first #RestPoll regional seedbags arrived with native annual and perennial plants. The mixture can grow in every housegarden or balcony to promote wild bees and other pollinators.

Gave a seminar about long-term bee and wasp temporal dynamics at @nmbern.bsky.social today. Good thing about collaborating with a curator? You get to marvel at the hidden entomology collection 😍😍😍

Green Sweat Bee!!! I had a terrible time finding bugs who would slow down enough to be identified for #InverteFest. And then I got to this patch of Golden Ragwort which was covered in pollinators!!

Leafcutter bees (Megachile) love my redbud tree. These bees are excellent pollinators. #insects

Marcelo A. Aizen: “Pollination is More Than Just Animals Visiting Flowers” Botany One interviews Dr Marcelo A. Aizen, an Argentinian researcher fascinated for the interactions between plants and pollinators.

From understanding flower evolution to challenging pollination crisis theories, Dr. Marcelo Aizen has redefined our knowledge of plant-animal interactions. Read his story before his Botany 2025 keynote.

A dark green infographic titled "MOTHER EARTH FACTS" with "DID YOU KNOW?" in large text. The IPBES logo appears at the top, and a partial world map is visible on the right side. The image presents three key facts, each accompanied by a small Earth icon: A statement about living in harmony with nature and Mother Earth for a just and sustainable world. Information about Indigenous and local knowledge contributions, including philosophies and ethics of care. A point about educational materials covering nature's contributions, ecosystem services, and Mother Earth-centric conservation approaches. The source is cited as "IPBES Transformative Change Assessment" at the bottom. The design has a vintage, textured appearance with white text on the green background.

🌍 This #EarthDay, let's recognize the need to restore ecosystems, combat deforestation & climate change, & to promote harmony with nature.

A just, sustainable and thriving world is possible. 🌱💚
