https://lnkd.in/efnMPSks CHAMPION STATUS FOR BUMBLEBEE CONSERVATION SITE One of UK’s rarest bumblebees settles in Kent after restoration of former farmland. Former farmland that has been transformed into a mosaic of habitats has been awarded “champion status” for a rare bee that has set up home there. The shrill carder bee, so named because of its high-pitched buzz, is one of the UK’s rarest bumblebees with just five populations remaining across England and Wales. But it has been given a boost by conservation work by the Woodland Trust at its Victory Wood site near Yorkletts, Whitstable, in Kent, which it bought in 2004.

I love the rainfall on the women of distant meadows. I love the glittering water and the scent of stone.
