Many of you have been asking what you can do to help our declining wild pollinators. Here are the top 10 actions you can take to support these important insects.🐝

(The @PollinatorPlan is implemented by the @BioDataCentre)

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken action for pollinators in 2025. Pollinator numbers are in decline, but local populations are increasing where actions are being taken to help them. We'll be working even harder to help pollinators with a more ambitious plan for 2026-2030

Holly & Ivy berries are abundant at this time of year: a vital food source for birds, who in turn will disperse their seeds

Male & female Holly flowers grow on different plants & need pollinating insects to help them reproduce. Another reason to be thankful for our pollinators

Meet the December Moth, spotted in west Cork by our @biodatacentre colleague Ann Haigh

Whilst not technically a pollinator (it doesn't feed as an adult, relying on reserves stored up from its time as a caterpillar), this is one of the few moths you might see in the winter ❄️💚

We're delighted to share a video celebrating the work that has taken place to help pollinators during the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-25 🐝

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken action for pollinators over the past 5 years.. let's keep going!💚
