#spring2025

There was less sun this past Spring in most of Southeast and parts of southwest Alaska than any other spring since the late 1970s. Most of Southcentral was sun-limited too. In contrast, Northwest Arctic Borough and portions of the North Slope coast had much more sunshine than usual. Data from ERA5 and analysis and plotting courtesy @Climatologist49

Sixth: "To bee or not to bee", where we mourn the now departed hairy-footed flower bees and the many species of mining bees – see you next Spring –, and welcome a whole new range of bees, awoken at the right time to feast on the pink lampwick, bright yellow fear-leaf yarrow, and deep pink Deutzia bushes. The rooster includes mason bees, leaf-cutter bees, sweat bees, armoured-resin bees, masked bees, and the spectacular European woolcarder bee. The last two kinds are putting in quite the territorial control and mating show.

Fifth: "Fantastic colours on the wing", where we linger on the many beautiful flies that inhabit the college gardens, from beeflies to bright emerald greenbottle flies, hoverflies, dagger flies, assassin flies, and many others, plus the expected set of bees for late April and early May in Cambridge, UK.

www.pem.cam.ac.ukFantastic colours on the wing | PembrokeSummer is here – seemingly – and with long days filled with warmth and light, the gardens are yielding their lushest yet. Colours and fragrances galore, and the flies: so many and so beautiful, emerging from nowhere to delight us with their buzzing flights and graceful figures. This week the beeflies continue to surprise with their goofy, minute plush bear bodies and splayed out wings, like this Bombylius major, one of many of its kind to be found all over the Pembroke orchard.
