Did you know? Only matured form of #ivy produces flowers! Many rare insects are attracted to ivy flowers, including hoverfly! 😍😍😍 . Ivy is usually seen clinging to buildings and trees and is one of the UK’s few native evergreen plants. Sadly, this woody climber is a much maligned species and is often accused of strangling trees. However, ivy should be celebrated and valued for the pivotal role it plays in providing wildlife with food and shelter. . Nectar, pollen and berries of ivy are an essential food source for insects and birds during autumn and winter when food is scarce. It also provides shelter for insects, birds, bats and other small mammals. The high fat content of the berries is a nutritious food resource for birds and they are eaten by a range of species including thrushes, blackcaps, woodpigeons and blackbirds. Ivy provides essential food to many insects before they go into hibernation. Some of the main insect species which forage on the nectar and pollen of ivy are bees, hoverflies and common wasps. It is an important food plant for some butterfly and moth larvae such as holly blue, small dusty wave, angle shades and swallow-tailed moth. Many rare insects are attracted to ivy flowers, including the golden hoverfly. The best chance to see golden hoverfly is by looking for adults visiting ivy flowers within the vicinity of ancient trees. However, the golden hoverfly has only been seen at four UK locations in the past ten years, so the chances of seeing one are very slim. . #pollinators #bees #savethebees #pollinatorgarden #nature #pollinator #flowers #garden #gardening #bee #pollinatorhero #spring #naturephotography #butterfly #honeybees #pollinatorfriendly #beekeeping #pollinatormonday #pollinatorlove #pollinatorzone #pollinatorplants #butterflies #pollinatorswelcome #pollinatorsandflowers #pollinatorgardens #pollinatorhabitat #pollinatorparadise #pollinatorweek #mygarden @woodlandtrust https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo313ccFKPw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12buwlq19c9as

🐝🐝🐝⠀ Order Here: http://bit.ly/2EKMfSd⠀ 🐝🐝🐝⠀ TREE AGATE⠀ Harmony, Calming, Removes Blockages⠀ Chakras: Heart, Crown⠀ Astrology: Virgo⠀ ⠀ Bees, including native bees, bumble bees, and honey bees are one of a myriad of other animals called pollinators. Pollinators transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Many pollinators are disappearing at alarming rates.⠀ ⠀ The solution to pollinator health is not a simple one, but you can start by purchasing a bee bracelet right here. For every purchase of a bracelet in the “Save the Bees!” collection, I will make a donation to Save the Honeybees Foundation. This organization works toward educating the public about pollinators, researching solutions for helping them and protecting their natural habitat from threats. Every time you wear your bracelet, you are raising awareness and you can be proud that you helped make a difference.⠀ #etsymumbles #savethebees #savethebeesplease #beerescue #pollinatorlove #honeybees #entomology #instabug #protectthebees #bumblebeelovesyou #yogajewelry #yogabracelet #meditationbracelet #meditationjewelry #handmadeisbetter #shopsmallbusiness #gemstonejewelry #instashoponline #gemstonebracelet #shopsmallbiz #handmadejewelryforsale #gemstonebeads #braceletforsale #crystalhealingjewelry #spiritualawakening #treeagate (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

#carpenterbee showing the #anisehyssop some #pollinatorlove in the #pollinatorgarden I probably should keep the bees but I love letting them bee. If it's going to bee, it will bee, let it bee, I don't want bees to leave... actually I don't know the words to that song. 😁 (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwMxakDDWB/?igshid=bayt6k8s61nq

It was such a glorious weekend, there were pollinator parties everywhere I found a garden! I had no choice but to crash them!!! #allaboutthegardenlife #pollinatorlove #allthingsbeautiful #dcgardens

I could not help but feel like a voyeur as I paused to watch this act of nature....truly a treat as I wandered through Parc Bercy yesterday. The rose garden was alive with a symphonic buzz. The added value came from the Doves coming in the back ground. August bliss in Paris. #allthingsbeautiful #allaboutthegardenlife #pollinatorlove #paris (at Ile-de-France, France)

After we left the Butterfly house at Niagra Parks, we suffered through the pollinator garden outside...we were up to the task and all was right with the world. #NiagraParks ##niagraneverstops #GWA2017 #pollinatorlove #ALLTHINGSBEAUTIFUL (at Niagara Falls Canada/USA)
