01:33:46 Tony Madgwick: This session is being recorded 01:34:53 Tony Madgwick: @Gaynor - can you describe the bees? 01:35:39 Gaynor Smith: unfortunately not...they were too far up the tree. probably bumble bees...hmmm! 01:36:29 sue: can anyone recommend a good ID book on hoverflies 01:37:33 tim harris: Sue, I’ll give you details of a good hoverfly guide at the end of the meeting - I need to go. Upstairs! 01:38:19 Tony Madgwick: @Gaynor - there are reports of bees being attracted to honeydew secreted by aphids, particularly when there is a lack of suitable forage. Hoverflies will also feed on honeydew and some do mimic bees 01:49:01 Gaynor Smith: re iridescence...I have noticed that deep blue lobelia flowers, and others of similar colour, give off a red light around the rim of the flower...how and why do they do this? 01:51:18 Tony Madgwick: For more on physical colours (albeit in insects!) see VMU11 in the FSC Biolinks virtual meet ups - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdau3EIomlitPTfE2cSMWeIvGjIDijkI2 01:58:04 Tony Madgwick: A quick search to look for accessible articles on smell and attraction pulled up this - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140331083734.htm 02:03:13 Chris Gannaway: What is the view on honeybee population which are really domestic livestock verses solitary bees? 02:05:04 Tony Madgwick: @Chris - we can discuss this at the end if you wish! See also my BitC Project video in the FSC Biolinks virtual meet-up videos 02:07:43 Jessica: Hi, I will research myself but do you know any of the recent research into moths as pollinators? I love moths and am really happy to learn about this! :) 02:08:54 Chris Gannaway: Many years ago when I did grow raspberries it was the only place that I found garden tiger moth 02:10:04 Jessica: How interesting! Those moths are so beautiful ^ 02:11:55 tim harris: A recent survey in Norfolk showed that 45% of the moths trapped were shown to be carrying pollen. They carried pollen from 47 different species of plant - they are much more important pollinators than they’e previously been given credit for. 02:12:17 Jessica: Is the audio distorted for anybody else? 02:12:28 Izzet Kale: Yes 02:12:34 maryaholden: Afraid so Jessica 02:12:38 Berenice Tregenna: Yes, it is sped up the sound 02:12:38 Tony Madgwick: Apols! 02:12:39 tim harris: There are some.
