  • Iconic Bees: 12 Reports on UK Bee Species
    Iconic Bees: 12 reports on UK bee species Bees are vital to the ecology of the UK and provide significant social and economic benefits through crop pollination and maintaining the character of the landscape. Recent years have seen substantial declines in many species of bees within the UK. This report takes a closer look at how 12 ‘iconic’ bee species are faring in each English region, as well as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Authors Rebecca L. Evans and Simon G. Potts, University of Reading. Photo: © Amelia Collins Contents 1 Summary 2 East England Sea-aster Mining Bee 6 East Midlands Large Garden Bumblebee 10 London Buff-tailed Bumblebee 14 North East Bilberry Bumblebee 18 North West Wall Mason Bee 22 Northern Ireland Northern Colletes 26 Scotland Great Yellow Bumblebee 30 South East England Potter Flower Bee 34 South West England Scabious Bee 38 Wales Large Mason Bee 42 West Midlands Long-horned Bee 46 Yorkshire Tormentil Mining Bee Through collating information on the 12 iconic bee species, common themes have Summary emerged on the causes of decline, and the actions that can be taken to help reverse it. The most pervasive causes of bee species decline are to be found in the way our countryside has changed in the past 60 years. Intensification of grazing regimes, an increase in pesticide use, loss of biodiverse field margins and hedgerows, the trend towards sterile monoculture, insensitive development and the sprawl of towns and cities are the main factors in this. I agree with the need for a comprehensive Bee Action Plan led by the UK Government in order to counteract these causes of decline, as called for by Friends of the Earth.

  • Nineteenth-Century Rural Crime in Avon Dassett
    Nineteenth-century rural crime in Avon Dassett What were crime levels like in nineteenth century rural Warwickshire? Like many rural areas the population of the county grew only very slowly over the nineteenth-century. In 1860 for example, it was 192,000. By 1911 it was only 277,000 and had started to decline after 1901. In general, as is the case today, urban crime rates were higher than in rural locations. The chart below shows crime rates in rural Warwickshire were consistently lower than those in Birmingham. Rural crime was rising over the period in relation to the population whilst urban crime was falling. Crime rate per thousand of population, Warwickshire and Birmingham But the types of crime tended to differ between rural and urban areas. A village like Avon Dassett would probably have suffered a low level of crime with poaching, drunkenness, petty theft and assaults being amongst the most serious offences. A survey of cases located in Avon Dassett which went to trial between 1800 and 1900 reveals the following crimes: Name Status Crime Year of Trial Elizabeth Marshall Victim Assault 1854 John Shaw Accused Assault 1854 John Griffin Victim Larceny 1857 John White Accused Larceny 1857 Philip Boswell Accused Malicious Damage 1864 Thomas Aloysius Victim Malicious Damage 1864 Perry Gertrude Mary Victim Child Abuse 1891 Golder Daniel Jobson Accused Child Abuse 1891 Thomas Bailey Accused Burglary 1892 Lydia Jobson Victim Burglary 1892 John White Accused Burglary 1892 In urban areas there would have been higher levels of violent crime and theft. However, in 1887, Avon Dassett was rocked by a contentious manslaughter case.
