SAVE THE BEES!
Todays is the #WorldBeeDay, so we wanted to remind you how important bees are. Bees are dying and that’s definitely not cool.
But, really: give it a shot and inform yourself how you can help the bees where you live.
I mean, look at them.
Here some ideas: https://thebeeconservancy.org/10-ways-to-save-the-bees/

Friday funday in delicious green! This weekend is all about our Mother Earth who we’ve been treating terribly. Let’s grow out of our angsty, disrespectful teenage years and become the grateful and responsible adult children she deserves. Plant a tree, plant bee friendly flowers, participate in your local march, write a letter, make a call, educate yourself about where your money goes, teach your children, show that you care. Science matters. Facts matter. We’ve only got one Earth.

Here’s a Valentines day reminder that St Valentine is also the patron saint of beekeepers so if you’re single today you can still celebrate by:
- Buying a bee hotel for your garden
- Making your own bee hotel out of sticks and leaves
- Planting bee friendly flowers. In the winter you can plant clematis, crocus and snowdrops to name a few
- Visitinghere for more ideas and information
Happy Valentines day!

Golden!
Pollinators are beyond important to the vitality of the earth and humans; without them food would be scarce and nature as we know it would, to say the least, different. I am so grateful for this little bee and her mighty effort as she meanders through my little cottage garden; she is loaded with pollen from the zucchini flowers. Thank you little bee for making my morning that much more special ♥️ #savethebees #mothernature #motherearth #fortheloveofbees #cottagegardens #urbangarden #hedgewitch #bees #beesofinstagram #urbanhomestead #gardening #mothernaturesbeauty #goddessenergy #flowersofinstagram #kitchenwitch (at Home)

To defend against predatory wasps, honeybees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating honeybees need to respond with perfect timing when it’s their turn to shimmer. The strength and intensity of the bees’ shimmering is based on the predators flight speed and proximity. Wasps rarely come closer than 50 centimeters from the hive when shimmering is in action. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, but researches believe they are just confused on how to attack.

Bumblebee wings can beat over 130 times per second, the beating combined with their large bodies vibrates flowers until they release pollen, which is called buzz pollination. Buzz pollination helps plants produce more fruit.

Vulture bees are a small group of three closely related North American stingless bee species in the genus Trigona which feed on rotting meat. They substitute meat for pollen, and create an edible substance resembling honey!
.
Vulture bees, much like maggots, usually enter the carcass through the eyes. They will then root around inside gathering the meat suitable for their needs. The vulture bee salivates on the rotting flesh and then consumes it, storing the flesh in its special stomach compartment. When it returns to the hive, this meat is vomited and processed by a worker bee, which breaks the meat down into an edible substance resembling honey. This substance is then placed into pot-like containers within the hive until it is time to feed the immature bees.
.
As intriguing as a corpse-honey might sound, there’s no record of this ever being tried. However, experts strongly advise against trying it – not because the substance might make humans sick, but because vulture bees only store enough of it to sustain their hives, unlike European honeybees who produce far more than they need.

The honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects and it is the only insect that produces food eaten by man. . Honey bees are vital pollinators; Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture, globally. . The European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) is not native to the Americas — only arriving, aboard European ships, around 1622. . Honey bees have 6 legs, 2 compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses (one on each side of the head), 3 simple eyes on the top of the head, 2 pairs of wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach. . Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors. Their sense of smell is so precise that they can differentiate hundreds of different floral varieties and tell whether a flower carried pollen or nectar from metres away. . The honey bee’s wings stroke incredibly fast, about 200 beats per second, creating their famous, distinctive buzz. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour. . The average worker bee produces about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. . A hive of bees will fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey. . It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world. . A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip. . While honeybees are awesome, let’s remember that they are not the only bees that need protecting! There are thousands of other bee species that are vital to our ecosystems, many of which specialize in pollinating native flora that cannot otherwise be pollinated by any other bee species. . The specimens used in my work were collected from a beekeeper after they’ve passed away. The bees push their dead out of the hive and they are collected so I can use them for my art. .
