Big congratulations to Alex who has been shortlisted for the 2021 Haldane Prize for our paper on bee nutrition! The prize is Functional Ecology’s annual award for Early Career Researchers. Here is a link to Alex’s blog post about it.

We put up the first of our school mason bee boxes at Wilberforce College with Ashley Howe (@MrHoweBiology), Martin the head technician and Sam. Looking forward to a buzzing spring of pollen collection with the sixth form students!
