  • 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.

  • Mini Guide Hade Edge V1-0G
    Huddersfield Geology Group Local Field Trip Guide – Hade Edge Flagstone Quarries Introduction Flag stones were quarried across many parts of West Yorkshire and surrounding locations, exploiting the local geology. Historically, flag stones would have been quarried, dressed to size and used close to where they were required. Building stones and flags are still extracted today, though the industry is now based around large commercial quarries. Uses include roofing, pavement flags and railway platforms. Flag stones are formed in a shallow, active delta environment. Changes in flow direction and sedimentation left weakened surfaces between layers. The resultant rock would fracture more easily along these surfaces. The type of sediment is also a key factor. Sediments with an abundance of thin, plate-like, minerals such as mica, produce a rock type that splits more easily along the plane of mica crystals. Flag stones are often formed where there is cross bedding. This occurs where deposition of material, later to become hard rock, is at an angle. The deposition moves laterally to form the features as in Picture 1. Picture 1. Cross bedding, in the yellow sandstones. Page 1 of 14 Jan-21 Version 1.0 Extracting flag stones from the ground can be very easy compared to other quarrying and mining activities. In places, flagstones can still be seen in situ at ground level and in shallow depressions, as in picture 2. Note heather bushes for scale: Picture 2. Flags of varying thicknesses can be seen and would require no further work after extraction, other than trimming to size and shape.

The long summer holiday is over and children are returning to school; college and university terms will begin in earnest very soon. Some of our children will be starting new schools, others will be moving up into new classes with a new teacher. There will be the very young who are starting nursery and school for the very first time. I am sure that some of them will be feeling nervous, excited, and maybe a little fearful (and that’s just the teachers!). Moving on is a part of life, we cannot and indeed we should not, stand still. We may want things to stay as they are but in reality we know that we have to go forward. I remember when my daughters were leaving home for the first time, I desperately wanted to hold back time because nothing would ever be the same again for any of us.

All staff, whether based in schools or working in our directorate, work together to ensure that schools offer all children and young people the best possible opportunities. We are very proud of the achievements of children and young people locally and the work of schools to support them. Over the coming years we will be working in partnership to continue to develop and improve the district’s schools and this will support our ambition to raise the attainment, achievement and aspirations of every learner in Kirklees.
