Hi #bee folks, I recently found a hive of wild bees on #Bute #Scotland. To me they look very dark and I was wondering if they are the native race of British Black Bees. Can anyone confirm/comment from my picture? Thanks. #beekeeping image
Not really surprised. Being on your bike is so stimulating. "cyclists had a 19 percent lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22 percent lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40 percent lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), and a 17 percent lower risk of late-onset dementia." #cycling #biketoot #Alzheimers

I went down to have a look at the new #cycle - #pedestrian Govan-Partick Bridge in #Glasgow. To say I am blown away is an understatement. The bridge is wide and invites people to cross from the Riverside Museum to a newly created/modernised civic space in #Govan. People were so excited about it that complete strangers were stopping to chat with me. I think this is one of the best infrastructure projects I've seen in my lifetime in Glasgow. A few pictures.
