Dear Prof. Else, I have an Osmia male born on last March out of a flat nest made of mud between a hive and its roof,built on previous August. The animal is...
What you have to remember is that figures such as this are just wild approximations. The numbers aren't that huge anyway - there are probably billions of ants...
Oh, sure. I could equally well have attacked the preposterous three significant figures, implying that the figure is "6,450,..." rather than "6,500,..." to...
"There are a million ants for every one of us" The ecological footprint of the average human is 4.5 acres that is the amount of ecologically productive land...
Hello Mike and Don, Sorry - that is probably a bit of bad on my part, I indeed forgot to define any kind of level of accuracy or quality rating to my original...
Dear Francois, Thank you for your message. Please send me the Osmia and I will see what I can do. It might be better to wait until next month so as not to risk...
But why do we have to share our "footprint" with a million ants (or vice versa)? Let them find their own footprints! (Actually they all did that many millions...
Now that's what I call a round number! I wrote and commented on the clause "Ants are bust insects..." because I thought that they belonged in nether...

Dear BWARS Please can you assist me with my research, I am currently writing an essay on the subject of nature reserve monitoring of a single species or a...
Dear Richard This s one of those "yes & no" sorts of answers. BWARS as an organisation has no conservation remit at all. It is a data gathering Society, and...
Hello Richard, There is an interesting political and philosophical concept in biological recording posed by your message and how it is worded. I thoroughly...
PS: I would be interested to know how wildlife sites are managed, e.g Local Nature Reserves? When West Sussex County Council do it they have ongoing...
Richard, I would agree with Stuart's reply to your questions. In my previous job I was responsible for collating data and ensuring it was considered for...
What a complete load of rubbish - I don't know what you are basing this on but don't be fooled into thinking that a lot of paperwork and meetings means that a...
