Our roundtable event in Parliament yesterday was a great success! 💥👊 We brought together pest management professionals, housing professionals, charities and Lee Dillon MP, to help influence the next phase of Awaab's Law.

Mr Dillon then referenced the roundtable in this morning's Parliament session on the Social Housing Bill. 🤩

Thanks to everyone who attended and shared valuable insights!

Ivy Mining Bees

If you notice lots of small bees flying close to the ground, nesting in lawns, flowerbeds or soil banks, please don’t panic. They may be ivy mining bees (Colletes hederae).
Despite sometimes appearing in large numbers, these are solitary bees, not a dangerous colony. Each female creates her own small nesting tunnel, although many may nest close together where the soil conditions are suitable.
Ivy mining bees are:

✅ Gentle and non-aggressive
✅ Unlikely to sting, even around their nesting areas
✅ Harmless to people, pets and buildings
✅ Important pollinators, particularly of flowering ivy
✅ Seasonal visitors that disappear naturally

Pesticide treatment is unnecessary and should be avoided. The best course of action is simply to leave them alone and enjoy watching these valuable native pollinators.
Please share and help protect our harmless mining bees.

🐝 Ham or jam? What are the wasps choosing?

Researchers at UCL want pest professionals to help them understand what wasps are eating this summer 🍴

The Picnic Wasp Survey is looking at whether foraging wasps choose protein-rich foods such as meat, or sugary foods such as jam, fruit and soft drinks – and whether those preferences change as the season progresses.

🕵️ Pest technicians spend a lot of time observing wasps in the real world, so your sightings could provide particularly useful evidence.

Next time a wasp takes an interest in someone’s lunch, take a closer look before you shoo it away.

📸 Snap a photo if you can
🍖 Record protein, sugar or both
🔬 Help researchers build a better picture of wasp behaviour in 2026
