gardening for bumblebees dave goulson

''Go on, have a flutter! Take a few tips from the new book by biologist Dave Goulson and it''s a safe bet that beautiful butterflies will start gathering in your garden'' Daily MailFrom the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Sting In The Tale comes this practical guide to creating a paradise for pollinators.There are twenty six different species of bumblebees to be found in the UK, of around 250 species worldwide. Bumblebees are among the most important of our insects; these superb pollinators ensure that wildflowers set seed and reappear each year, and that our vegetable and fruit crops give us bountiful harvests. With the decline in the populations of our wild bees, these beloved creatures need looking after more than ever.Gardening for Bumblebees shows you how you can provide a refuge for bumblebees to feed, breed and thrive. No matter how large or small your space is, Dave Goulson shows you how you can make a pollinator-friendly haven. In this book you will learn the best trees, shrubs and flowers for pollinators, how to create the perfect nest and breeding site, and the best ways to control pests. Gardening For Bumblebees will encourage and inspire gardeners and allotmenters alike to make their patch more bee friendly.Praise for Dave Goulson''Ideal for filling the garden with a happy hum''Tiffany Daneff, Country Life''Goulson reminds himself that he ''began studying bumblebees not because they are important pollinators but because they are fascinating, because they behave in interesting and mysterious ways, and because they are rather loveable''Hannah Rosefield, Literary Review

„Možná že když se dnes naučíme zachránit jednoho čmeláka, dokážeme zítra zachránit svět.“ Posedlosti pro čmeláky propadl Dave Goulson už v raném dětství. Jeho zájem o přírodu začínal stále exotičtějším zvěřincem domácích mazlíčků, ale svět se mu naprosto změnil, když si objednal první entomologické vybavení. Od té doby se jeho skutečnou vášní stal hmyz, především včely a čmeláci. „Čmeláky jsem začal studovat ne proto, že jsou to důležití opylovači, ale protože jsou fascinující, protože se chovají zajímavě a tajuplně, a protože jsou prostě neodolatelní. Když jsem se ale líp seznámil s tím, co se o nich vědělo, ukázalo se, že naléhavě potřebují pomoc.“ - Dave Goulson Dave Goulson v současné době patří mezi nejuznávanější ochránce přírody ve Spojeném království a v roce 2006 založil oceňovanou Bumblebee Conservation Trust (Společnost na ochranu čmeláků). V knize Návrat čmeláků kombinuje příběhy o rostoucí vášni dítěte pro přírodu s hlubokými vhledy do zásadní důležitosti čmeláků. Autor se zaujetím popisuje, jaký vliv měly na čmeláky historické události, co s nimi dělá proměňující se příroda, jak do jejich života zasahujeme my a jak je můžeme chránit. Jedním z nejvýraznějších momentů příběhu je vášnivé úsilí Dava Goulsona o navrácení anglického čmeláka pruhovaného, který ve Velké Británii zcela vyhynul, do jeho původní domoviny. Díky autorovu hlubokému vhledu a nadšení se na čmeláky začnete dívat úplně jinak. Začnete se na ně zkrátka dívat. „Musím se k něčemu přiznat. Možná tvrdím, že biodiverzita je životně důležitá pro naše přežití, že potřebujeme opylovače pro naše zemědělské plodiny a tak dál, a že bychom tudíž měli vyhradit oblasti pro ochranu. Ve skutečnosti je ale moje motivace pro obnovu louky mnohem sobečtější. Úplně jednoduše – louka je to nekrásnější místo, kde je možné si během letního dne sednout. Pokud jste to ještě nikdy neudělali, najděte si nějakou louku plnou divokých květin – není jich sice mnoho, ale nějaká pravděpodobně bude nepříliš daleko – jděte tam sami, posaďte se do vysoké trávy a nasávejte do sebe to místo. Poslouchejte zvuky: bzučení čmeláků a včel, cvrkot lučních kobylek, vysoké pískání rejsků bojujících hluboko v trávě, melodické švitoření skřivanů vysoko na nebi. Vnímejte vůně bazalky, mateřídoušky a svízele syřišťového rozdrcených pod vašima nohama a květin všude kolem. Nechte se unášet širokou paletou barev: fialových, žlutých, purpurových a růžových. Je to nejblíž nebi, kam se většina z nás může dostat. Jaký další důvod bychom mohli potřebovat pro vytváření takových míst a péči o ně? Kéž máte vždy možnost si na rozkvetlé louce užívat pohled na čmeláky a včely a naslouchat jejich bzukotu.“ - Dave Goulson Autor Dave Goulson (* 1965) vystudoval biologii na Oxfordské univerzitě a v současnosti působí jako profesor biologických věd na univerzitě v Sussexu. Vydal více než 190 vědeckých článků o čmelácích, včelách, motýlech a dalších druzích hmyzu. V roce 2006 založil Bumblebee Conservation Trust (Společnost na ochranu čmeláků), která svou průlomovou ochranářskou prací získala Heritage Lottery Award za nejlepší projekt v oblasti životního prostředí. Jedním z jejích cílů je navrátit do původní domoviny čmeláka pruhovaného, který ve Velké Británii zcela vyhynul. Biology and Biotechnology Research Council v roce 2010 Goulsonovi udělil ocenění Sociální inovátor roku . Je autorem další velmi úspěšné knihy o přírodním zahradničení Divočina v zahradě .

**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** The Garden Jungle is a wonderful introduction to the hundreds of small creatures with whom welive cheek-by-jowl and of the myriad ways that we can encourage them to thrive.The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.The Garden Jungle is at times an immensely serious book, exploring the environmental harm inadvertently done by gardeners who buy intensively reared plants in disposable plastic pots, sprayed with pesticides and grown in peat cut from the ground. Goulson argues that gardens could become places where we can reconnect with nature and rediscover where food comes from. For anyone who has a garden, and cares about our planet, this book is essential reading.

**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**One man''s quest to save the bumblebee...Dave Goulson has always been obsessed with wildlife, from his childhood menagerie of exotic pets and dabbling in experimental taxidermy to his groundbreaking research into the mysterious ways of the bumblebee and his mission to protect our rarest bees.Once commonly found in the marshes of Kent, the short-haired bumblebee is now extinct in the UK, but still exists in the wilds of New Zealand, descended from a few queen bees shipped over in the nineteenth century.A Sting in the Tale tells the story of Goulson''s passionate drive to reintroduce it to its native land and contains groundbreaking research into these curious creatures, history''s relationship with the bumblebee, the disastrous effects intensive farming has had on our bee populations and the potential dangers if we are to continue down this path.

''Gardening is the best medicine for the mind'' - the GuardianGardening, like mindfulness, is a way of finding a sense of calm in an otherwise chaotic world, a simpler existence, even if it is only for a few minutes.

RSPB Spotlight: Bumblebees is packed with eye-catching, informative colour photos, and features succinct and detailed text written by a knowledgeable naturalist.Bumblebees are some of our most familiar insects, and are among the few that are almost universally viewed as ‘friendly’ – their low buzzing is the quintessential sound of our gardens in the summertime. Spotlight Bumblebees considers all 24 UK bumblebee species, examining what made the group so successful and how circumstances have led to the survival of some species but the precipitous decline of the majority, highlighting the dangers we all face if populations continue to plummet. Separate chapters cover all aspects of bumblebees’ biology and lifestyles, from spring queens emerging from dark overwintering chambers to establish their nests, to the drone swarms that herald the end of the bumblebee season. Bumblebees around the world are studied, including in the southern hemisphere where Europe’s declining species can become harmful invaders. While the influence of bumblebees throughout our history and their place in our culture, from Shakespeare to Transformers, is also examined.

Between 1800 and 1960, gardening underwent a massive transformation, changing almost beyond recognition. It was a period when the concept of gardening as a leisure activity emerged, along with a vast array of changes in garden styles, plant breeding, the arrival of horticultural societies and shows, brands such as Suttons Seeds, and mass market tourism to garden sites. New retail styles even emerged with the advent of garden centres and containerised plants. Entrepreneurs took advantage of new technology to create products such as lawnmowers, the Wardian case terrarium and the strawberry canopy. Plant specialists searched out exotic plants from far-flung corners of the earth, risking their lives to bring back unusual specimens. Women took up gardening creating careers in a sector that had previously regarded them as little more than capable of doing light weeding or arranging flowers. New standards were established for training, products, plants and seed quality, resulting in the arrival of seeds such as Tom Thumb lettuce and frilly edged sweet peas that are still grown today. As recognition grew of the need for a green environment, green spaces and public parks accessible to all, gardening styles underwent considerable changes. This resulted in the creation of designs that have become extremely familiar such as carpet bedding so beloved of municipal gardens, rockeries, vegetable rotation, shrubberies, walled gardens, cottage gardens, roof and window gardens. It was a period which even saw garden gnomes taking up residence in gardens large and small.

Cynthia''s former best friend, Lorraine, has been stuck mowing lawns as part of a business she shares with her husband - his dream, not hers. When Cynthia convinces Lorraine to join the local Sunshine Gardening Society, they meet young widow Elizabeth, and rootless, heartbroken Kathy. The four women soon discover the society is much more than an opportunity to chat about flowers. Rather, it offers them the chance to lend a helping hand to people whose lives need a bit of care and attention, right along with their gardens. Between pulling up weeds and planting natives, the women learn from each other that some roots go deep, and others shallow; that seeds can lie dormant for a long time before they spring to life, and that careful tending is the key to lives and friendships that reach their full potential.''An enjoyable and heartwarming read''ABC GARDENING AUSTRALIA MAGAZINE''If you love gardening, then you''re going to love Weekends with the Sunshine Gardening Society.
