Glyphosate Based Herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used #pesticides globally. Increased use of genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops which allow GBH application throughout the growing season hugely increases GBH exposure with severe consequences for #bees and ecosystems.

A recent Finnish study which exposed #bumblebees to field realistic doses of the #glyphosate based #herbicide Roundup found that the bumblebees' fine-color discrimination and long-term memory were significantly impaired.

Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies.
These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period.

Bumblebees love #thistles (as do many #insects and #birds).
Forget boyband bedding plants (so 90’s, pretty but ultimately useless) and have these kickass #punks of the #wildflower world in your patch.
Sunflower family.
