In response to a tweet from our very own Dean of Research this morning…
Here’s my bee/research-themed valentine’s message…
Roses are red
Violets are blue
They attract bees
The colour’s a clue
The bees transfer pollen,
Flies do this too,
Makes strawberries and chocolate
So, insects, thank you
But insects are threatened
By what humans do
So on V-day this year
It’s over to you…
Grow native flowers
(They need quite a few)
To feed their babies
And to do what they do
Ditch the bug spray
Protect habitats too
Because we need insects
And insects need you
