41 m. ago Get to grips with pollination – your garden (and the bees) will thank you for it

GCSE biology a distant memory? Here’s how plants reproduce, and how to encourage themIf you’re growing any plants for fruit, getting your head around pollination is key to ensuring a bountiful harvest.

Add on that temperatures in US are likely to be above 30C and whew.Notable heat events are not guaranteed during the Club World Cup but they are more likely to happen than in the past because of climate breakdown and there is a question over whether enough is being done to adapt to a new reality. The sole reference to extreme weather in Fifa’s regulations for the Club World Cup relates to the use of cooling breaks, which allow players to take on extra fluids once in each half if the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) (a measure of heat stress that includes humidity and air movement) exceeds 32C on the pitch.
