Semi-natural grasslands are truly magnificence places in the summer. They support greater numbers and diversity of pollinating species than other habitats. We need to celebrate and cherish the semi-natural grasslands that remain on farmland. #farmlandbiodiversity

Cattle and sheep enjoying some shade from the 🌞 Hedges and hedgerow trees really do help animals avoid some of the extreme effects of climate. A thick (but still permeable) hedge will provide shelter for a distance roughly three times its height. #farmlandbiodiversity

Why not take a mindful 10 minutes to watch a patch of flowers & count how many insects visit? A Flower-Insect-Timed count is a simple way of helping us track changes in insect abundance. There's even a free app with a built-in timer! Find out more here: bit.ly/3zkqkwH

Q: The No. 4 evidence-based action to support pollinators-biodiversity on your business site? A: Eliminate pesticides. Seek eco-alternatives. ‘Spot spray-only’ invasive species (eg Japanese Knotweed) with herbicide. pollinators.ie Biodiversity Ireland #thebusinessofbees

Very excited to see this rare bumblebee (Bombus muscorum) in this new meadow in Tramore yesterday. First time I've spotted it outside the sanddunes. Shows how easy it is to help! Congratations to Tramore Eco Group & Waterford City & County Council #DontMowLetItGrow #GreatIrishGrasslands
