First paper from my PhD published in @JAppliedEcology today! We show, through a meta-analysis, that pesticides negatively impact bee learning and memory, even at field realistic exposure. @ElliLeadbeater1 @sphaerularia @KorichevaLab besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

A really important new study from @sphaerularia and @ElliLeadbeater1 showing that buff-tailed bumblebee colonies do much better in cities and villages than in agricultural areas. #beesneeds teapawt.net/RSocPublishing/status/…

Recent studies that @Ash_Samuelson worked on shows that colonies located in urban areas may actually be more successful than nests located in agricultural areas. #SciFriLive

In contrast to Beatrix Potter’s mice, bumblebees 🐝 are happier in cities . theguardian.com/environment/… Great work by @Ash_Samuelson and fun to work with her and @ElliLeadbeater1 and Rich Gill @BumblebeeTrust @AgriBeeHealth @poshbee_eu
Bumblebees thrive in towns more than countryside

Bumblebees thrive in towns more than countryside

Urban bumblebees have better access to food, allowing them to produce more offspring

Bee viruses can be detected in hoverflies, we still have so much to learn about these diseases! Excellent coverage of our work with @kaitlindeutsch @sphaerularia @OwenTLewis at bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir… . For the full text: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.00… .

With global bee populations in a worrying state of decline, researchers at @RoyalHolloway are investigating how urbanisation affects these precious pollinators. @Ash_Samuelson, a PG Research Student in @RHULBioSci explains more for Higher online: bit.ly/2myI6FU
