Plight of the Bumblebees and other pollinators. Dr Gordon Port

This is a welcome return of Dr Port, who has previously, and entertainingly, given us great insights into the lives of slugs, snails and ladybirds and their roles in gardens and the wider environment. We look forward to his insights into this most important and worrying topic - the decline of bees and other pollinating insects. The image shows an early bumblebee - Bombus pratorum.
