Happy World Bee Day! Did you know that there are over 20,000 known species of bees worldwide? In Canada alone, there are over 800 species of native bees that play an important role in wildflower and crop pollination. Take our Pollinator Pledge to learn how you can support them!
Happy world bee day! Did you know the vast majority of bees in the world nest alone on the ground (no hive, queen or workers). Many species, like these Diadasia, build nests in large aggregations I like to call bee neighborhoods
It's International Women's Day! To celebrate, we are highlighting #WomenInConservation. We're kicking things off with Dr. Sheila Colla, a conservation scientist who inspires us. Read more about her on our blog: ow.ly/OZuU50DTkyj @SaveWildBees #IWD2021 #WomensHistoryMonth
Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we want to celebrate the women who contribute to pollinator research, and conservation! Here are just a few of the inspiring women that work with the Centre for Bee Ecology, Evolution and Conservation! #IWDatYU
Time to get your vote in for the annual BugEye photo contest!
I have eaten insects that were prepared by chefs and the grilled grasshoppers were surprisingly tasty!
Need a reminder why cockroaches creep you out? Read this!
Hey #entotweeps, sharing this announcement by @EntSocOnt. #Letyourcreativityfly and share your #scicomm skills with a 5 minute video on your research! Sounds fun!
.@EnvironmentYork Prof Sheila Colla @SaveWildBees discusses the at-risk Rusty-Patched Bumblebee, native bee declines and the best native plants for your garden on The Garden Show. Listen here bit.ly/2ADxCQy via @NEWS957
What causes killer honey bees to be highly defensive, invasive and aggressive? After delving into their genetics, @YorkUScience Prof Amro Zayed @AmroYorkU & Purdue University Prof Brock Harpur @Harpur think they have the answer bit.ly/38yjaWJ
It’s #NationalPollinatorWeek! #DYK there are over 700 species of pollinators in Canada, many which call Ontario home? They include bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, beetles & hummingbirds. Learn about what you can do to protect them: ontario.ca/page/pollinato…
#DYK without pollinators, much of the food we eat wouldn’t exist? You can make your garden or outdoor space pollinator-friendly by planting native flowers & herbs. Follow these guidelines: ontario.ca/page/pollinato…
#PollinatorWeek day 6. Today we feature @clementfkent1. Public outreach by BEEc researchers L. Packer, @AmroYorkU @sanrehan @SaveWildBees inspired him to build native plant gardens. Helping native pollinators, he turned this into a larger scale, community-led program. (1/5)
#FurryFriday: Bombus affinis (Apidae), known as the #rustypatched bumble bee. It's endangered in Canada & our colleague @aliczner is looking for help finding them in southern Ontario! Check out her infographic below. The pictures here are a queen followed by a male. #beeoftheday
The majority of bees in America aren’t honey producing and don't live in big colonies, rather most are solitary like this metallic green sweat bee (Augochlora pura) on goldenrod (Solidago sp.). Photo by @NashTurley
Biggest bumble bee in my neck of the woods, Nevada bumble bee queen (Bombus nevadensis). She hangs skillfully from a yellow avalanche lily (Erythronium grandiflorum).
The Niagara region is flooded with feral honey bees. These bees with a new queen will be looking for a new home. By offering your back yard or garage roof, we can come & place a swarm trap (bee box) when the bees swarm they will move into this box safely! DM us for more info!
Although many of our lab members focus on #bees, other insects play important #pollination roles as well! Only one of the insects below is a 🐝, although both are pollinators. Take a look at the photos and vote for which you think is the bee in the poll below! ❓🐝🤔
In @YorkUnews: @sanrehan on the solitary bee, Ceratina & evolution of #social behaviour in #bees. Her recent work looks at the effect of maternal care on gene expression by observing bee brains. @YorkUScience @YUResearch Read more here: bit.ly/3cqevY9 (Updated link)
