invertebrate #pollinators, especially bees & face extinction. The goal is to strengthen protections for bees to help protect food security & #biodiversity. Something that gives me hope is seeing how much of a difference individuals are making: making pollinator gardens, planting native species, protecting ecosystems and spreading knowledge. These are things even the very young can do. 🧵2/2

Like other bumble bees it is yellow and black. It is a medium to large bee and males and workers have a distinctive rusty-coloured patch on the second segment of the abdomen. It lives on the nectar of many flowers and can be found in open habitat such as mixed farmland, urban settings, savannah, open woods and sand dunes.#printmaking #bumblebee #BombusAffinis #rustyPatchedBumblebee #mastoArt 🧵3/3
