Completed October's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust at the transect in Fingringhoe. Common carders spotted on the wildflowers, and long tailed tits in the trees! A peaceful hour, collating much needed data to help save wild bees in Essex.

Completed September's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust along the transect in Colchester Castle Park. A lovely sunny day, not many bees, but still some out foraging, before winter's hibernation. Help the bees in Spring by planting native wildflowers, or even super easy blooms such as nasturtiums or marigolds.

It is with some relief that two Goodgymers were able to observe wild bees foraging in at least a quarter of a ‘beewalk’ at Fingringhoe Wick NR in Essex. Calamint flowers proving irresistible to this vitality important animal species. You can contribute too through the Bumblebee Conservation Trust’s ‘beewalk’ scheme to gather data. Discover, learn and contribute. Wumnage in da undergwoth!

Completed August's BeeWalk for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust at Fingringhoe Wick. The highest count was in segment one - the car park! The wild flowers there were still offering the bees something to forage on, whilst the blackberry buds had turned to juicy berries for the birds. Show your support for wildlife and wild bees by setting up a route in your area to add to the data bank.
