Very sadly, the rising costs that everyone is feeling have caught up with Bees and Other Pollinators Quarterly magazine and we are having to close down. Despite an enthusiastic take-up, our much-loved independent magazine is simply not viable in the face of soaring delivery, paper and energy costs. It may metamorphose and emerge in some other form in future, who knows?

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your interest and generosity in buying so many copies over past years. It's people like you who will save our wonderful insects in the future - by campaigning, wildlife gardening or simply sharing the love and fascination of our precious pollinators on sites like this one.

Thank you too to all our amazing contributors for sharing so much expertise - you made the magazine unique, authoritative and always fascinating. Do keep the conversation going and bring the importance of bees, butterflies, moths and all our other wonderful insects to the forefront of as many people's minds as possible. All issues to date are still available to purchase so you can complete your collection.

The BQ Team.
