To support moths, it is crucial to provide both the flower/s they need AND their larval food plants. Here is a brilliant resource created by the Northumberland Moth Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/756560517795505/) on plants and their larval food plants

Did you know, pollinators need both nectar and pollen during their lifecycles. Pollen is essential for larval development in pollinators. Pollen varies greatly in its quality, and needs to have a good balance between sugars, fats, proteins, amino acids and vitamins (which are built from elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, zinc and approximately twenty others) if it is to be of particular value for pollinators. Focusing on a variety of native and cultivated plants, this research highlights several plants with notably high pollen quality - plants to include in your gardens if you can! These include, among others: some clover species, broad bean, St John’s-wort, blackberry, walnut and common camelia

It’s hot out there today, and our pollinators need a drink too. 🐝💧

Bees, butterflies and other pollinators can struggle to find safe water during hot, dry weather. You can help by putting out a shallow bowl of fresh water with a few stones, pebbles or marbles inside so they have somewhere safe to land.

Place it in a shady spot if you can, top it up regularly, and keep the water fresh.

A tiny action from us can make a big difference for thirsty pollinators. 🌼

We planted a community apple orchard and lots of wildlflowers in the central courtyard garden at the Tannahill Centre in Paisley this spring. A huge thanks to all those involved in the open day in May https://maridani.art/, https://ecodrama.co.uk/, https://feisphaislig.com/ and expecially for funding the work

We recently finished building a grow garden for Busy Bees children's nursery in Livingston. The raised beds will provide an excellent opportunity for children and staff to grow food and spend more time outside among plants and wee beasties. We are very grateful to for supporting this work

We've recently been working with the Tillicoultry Wildlife Group and Sauchie Community Group in Clackmannanshire on some Beds for Bees plantings recently. ✨🌼🐝

Brilliant to have so many community members out getting together and planting! We really appreciate the efforts of everyone involved, including Josh and Pail and their team at TCV Scotland for their expert work preparing the planting spaces.

A great thank you to NatureScot and Clackmannanshire Council for funding this work.

We did a podcast with The Bee's Knees - A Podcast Wild about Native Bees. Nick talks about our latest projects and some of the design principles we use, and there is something hopeful at the end!
