Thanks to Aine Ni Fhlatharta for presenting her recent biodiversity study into rare bumblebee species locally and also for a fascinating Q&A session at the City Library last Friday. It was particularly timely following the 2023 ECI (European Citizens Initiative) “Save Bees and Farmers” and highlights the value of meeting our sustainable development goals.
