Still understudied, the evolution of their mitochondrial DNA is found to support the #Monophyly status of Bombus & its subgenera, offering exciting opportunities for future research in this field! 🐝 academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/adv… The Linnean Society of London




Have you ever seen such a strikingly-coloured bumblebee? 🤩 The beautiful Bombus kashmirensis is found in the Himalayas - the birthplace of bumblebees! This is just one of the species you can learn about at our exciting event this Sunday. 📷 - Paul Williams Bumblebee Conservation Trust




Another line has been dangerously crossed in Lebanon: IDF shelling of United Nations peacekeepers whose positions are known. We condemn this inadmissible act, for which there is no justification. The EU reiterates its full support to UNIFIL , to its UNSC-mandated mission & its troops.
