From Friday to Sunday, academics from the university of Bristol entertained the public of Bristol at the Festival of Nature in Millennium square. In what has been 3 brilliantly warm and sunny days, I’ve been talking about bumblebees and their importance and the threat of parasites to pollinators, wild mammals and even humans!
With live bumblebee colonies, microscopes, slides of parasites, cow themed onesies and live parasites, its been a really fun (and busy!) few days engaging with almost 5,000 people about our research.
