Happy 100th birthday to Winnie-the-Pooh!

First published on 14 October 1926, A. A. Milne’s stories have captured imaginations for a century. And while Pooh might be best known for his love of honey, the Hundred Acre Wood has plenty of other wildlife worth celebrating.

Bees and other pollinators play an important role in our green spaces, from pollinating wildflowers to supporting the plants and habitats that wildlife depends on. In honour of a century of adventures, we’re raising a little toast to the real-life pollinators that help make our own woodlands and gardens special.

The buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) has been chosen to feature on the Bank of England’s redesigned banknotes, following a public vote!

It’s one of the UK’s most familiar bumblebees, but it plays an important role in pollinating wildflowers and crops alike.

Commercially reared buff-tailed bumblebees are used in tomato greenhouses, where their buzz pollination helps flowers develop into fruit. They’ll grip certain flowers and vibrate their flight muscles, shaking pollen loose. This is called sonication, and it’s particularly useful for crops such as tomatoes.

Species spotlight: the Pinocchio Hoverfly

One of our favourite hoverflies has a rather unusual feature: a long ‘nose’!

The larvae of Pinocchio Hoverflies (Rhingia campestris) develop in cow dung.

A great day at the London Sheep Drive!

Yesterday, Pollinating London Together had a stand at the London Sheep Drive, joining thousands of people for one of London’s most unusual traditions.

It was great to meet so many people, chat about urban pollinators and biodiversity, and share more about our work across London.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, entered our raffle and supported our work.

And congratulations to Stephen C., who won our handmade bee hotel! 🐝

Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make it such a brilliant day. We really enjoyed being part of it.

Our 2026 pollinator surveys are well underway!

We’re now around halfway through our fourth survey round, visiting sites across London to see which pollinators are using the capital’s green spaces.

It’s still too early to reveal the full results, but we’ve already seen some species appearing in greater numbers than in previous years.

We’ll be processing the data once the surveys are complete, watch this space!

Found a tired bee? Put down the honey!
It might seem like the obvious thing to offer a struggling bee, but honey can contain pathogens that are harmful to bees.
Instead, if a bee needs a helping hand, offer a little sugar water, or even better, place it somewhere on a flower.

Species spotlight: Common Carder Bee

Bombus pascuorum is one of the UK’s most familiar bumblebees but its appearance can be quite variable.
Some individuals can look very similar to two much rarer species: the Brown-banded Carder Bee (B. humilis) and Moss Carder Bee (B. muscorum).

Discover Clerkenwell’s Pollinator Path!
Join us on 22 September at 3pm for an afternoon exploring the links between plants, pollinators and people.

We’ll visit two gardens, including St John’s ancient physic garden, and take a guided tour of the Museum of the Order of St John.

Some of our most familiar butterflies, including peacocks and small tortoiseshells, depend on stinging nettles. Adult butterflies visit other plants for nectar, but their caterpillars need host plants. No nettles can mean fewer butterflies.
