Himalayan Honeysuckle, also known as Flowering Nutmeg

Leycesteria formosa

The Pheasant Berry was brought over by the Victorians from the Himalayas or South West China and has toffee tasting berries when ripe but are dreadful and very bitter before then.

The honeybee population has been struggling following the impacts of #climate change, #habitat degradation, varroa viruses and now #invasive hornets! But we can help - this tree hive is a great idea to provide much needed habitat. @northyorkmoors.org.uk

Thank you all for your help!

Now I know I'm going to have a hard time getting rid of Aegopodium podagraria (on the left).

These are Lasius emarginatus, common name “Manhatant” This colony is at least three years old and massive.

In North America, invasive English ivy is ecologically awful for many reasons and I hate it. But the tangle of stems also makes it dangerous for arborists when they need to climb trees. This pic is from Friday when my neighbor had a tree taken down. Everything went fine but you could tell the guy was being extra careful when he repositioned his spurs. #EnglishIvy #hedera #ivy #trees #arborist #invasive #vines #chainsaw

They hijacked the power button!

I tried to turn my #android phone off by holding down the power button and up came "ask Gemini"

The power button is now three menus deep in the settings.

There is no #sentient being he will not harm. Thousands of US Dept of Agriculture employees, including #food inspectors, disease-sniffing #dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving #food to #rot in ports and #pests to proliferate. #DOGE Cuts at the #USDA Could Cause US #Grocery Prices to Rise, #Invasive Species to Spread. The quest for #dictatorship knows no bounds. Americans are not even aware of the expansive, irreparable damage done in just 2 months time - https://www.wired.com/story/usda-food-supply-chains/ No Dog Food!

European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). I generally dislike this species because they come to my feeder in large flocks and empty it while native birds sit and watch. And I've read that droppings from large roosts can kill trees. But this one was cute. Madras, Oregon. #birds #invasive #nature #chonky

Check out our new blog summarising our recent meta-analysis assessing treatments for the Varroa mite #pathogen of honey bees out!

This #invasive #parasite has huge impacts on crop production from lost #pollination

Broadly, synthetic chemicals were effective at killing the pathogen, but had negative impacts

Biological treatments showed promise for bee health, but were understudied

Organic chemical treatments were the best current option
