A huge thank you to our friends @WILDLABSNET for highlighting our bumblebee acoustics research 🐝🎧 We look forward to sharing more about how we use bee buzzes in bee conservation on Wildlabs.net 🥳 #tech4wildlife

Ellie here reporting live from the #tech4wildlife @cv4ecology summer school at The California Institute of Technology! Today I'm learning from students' final presentations on the models they've worked on for the past three weeks, and talking with them about their experiences.

Alixandra Prybyla, a PhD student and Darwin Trust Scholar at @EdinburghUni, will work with the @EdiBeeBrigade to train models to monitor bumblebees in acoustic data, identifying species-diagnostic signatures in a continuous stream of real-time sounds.

With the temperature set to soar across the UK we are asking you all to offer some shallow bowls of water for hedgehogs and other wildlife - pop in a few pebbles to ensure insects can escape. Please share! 🎥 Paul Bunyard


Did you know that only 24 of the ~270 known bee species in the UK are #bumblebees? The majority are solitary bees: each female has her own nest. You can still find solitary bees, like Andrena dentiulata and a Lasioglossum sp., foraging side-by-side with eusocial bumblebees!#PhD

Got to be a member of the @EdiBeeBrigade today! 🐝 Best way to enjoy a sunny Scottish summer day is to play #BingoBees at @TheBotanics Great to see #CitizenScience at work! Follow @EdiBeeBrigade for more information on their research and future events

Our article on the emerging technologies for insect monitoring and -ecology is online now in @Trends_Ecol_Evo We cover the state of the art for computer vision, radar, acoustics and barcoding for use in entomology. of course #openAccess sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Local to #Edinburgh and want to get involved with a family-friendly #citizenscience project? Join us at @TheBotanics' Demonstration Garden on Sunday, July 10th from 12PM - 4PM for a game of #BingoBees 🎲 Play bingo by finding our tagged bumblebees, gather data, & win prizes 🐝

What does an acoustic survey look like? 🎧 For our #PhD #research, it involves a specialized microphone to pick up low-frequency #bumblebee buzzes, two netters to catch the 🐝s, and a cooler to bring our 🐝s to torpor for handling/measurements! #PollinatorWeek #AcademicTwitter

Would you believe these #bumblebees were the same species? Yellow 73 (left) exhibits Bombus hypnorum's common ginger morph. Yellow 74 (right) is much darker--almost black! She is a great example of a melanistic/melanic morph 🐝 We 🧡🖤 🤍 phenotypic variation.

Happy #PrideMonth from White 37, and from the allies/members of the #LGBTQIA community here in the #EdinburghBumblebeeBrigade 🌈✨

We are buzzing with excitement: our research group #logo is ready to be shared! Thank you for the beautiful art @PerrinRGrant 🐝🌱 Can you identify who these stylised #bees are based on their banding? #WomenInSTEM #bumblebees #conservation

This mustachioed fellow is just one of many Bombus pratorum males that have emerged in the past few weeks at @DrNeilsGardener and @TheBotanics The #EarlyBumblebee is a great example of sexual dimorphism: only the males have yellow facial fuzz. Welcome to the world, Red 2! 🐝🔴

Two of our research assistants have received grants to perform genetics-focused experiments!🧬 @PerrinRGrant is 1 of 3 recipients of the @SBSatEd IEB Summer Studentship, and Jack was awarded a #GeneticsSociety Summer Studentship with a workshop at @UniofOxford We are so proud!🥳

I learned a little about the numbered bees at @TheBotanics today, but I shall give away no spoilers as the Bumblebee Brigade (students studying the bees) are coming to Twitter. Watch this space! #BotanicsBeeBingo #CitizenScience #WorldBeeDay2022 #WorldBeeDay

Happy #WorldBeeDay from Green 34, the most industrious Bombus lapidarius worker we've seen while surveying in @TheBotanics! Check out those pollen baskets 👀 She's doing her part to maintain bumblebee population health--will you? 🌼
