I met my first bumblebee of the year on the farm today. There are only a few small flowers around, so I hope they are able to find some eats before too long.

Observation suggests that when migrating #bumblebee queens arrive at large bodies of #water they often follow the shore line but are equally likely to fly across the water/sea to continue their journey!

Today is #StGobnaits feastday ๐ A beloved woman whose story is mostly known via #folklore she has inspired as a fierce warrior, tenacious female & patroness of the #bees But Ireland's landscape remembers her. Holy sites & townlands bear her namesake across #Ireland to this day #LegendaryWednesay

Iโll take that.
Yes.
Thatโll do pig, thatโll doโฆ
Now what was I going to tell you?
Oh yesโฆ
Bumblebee is grooming by the way.
Not twerking.
Not scratching an itch.
Or itching a scratch.
Not in trouble.
Just grooming.
Taking a moment to tidy herself up.
You see #bees take moments too.
Take a moment.

Bird migration observation sites in Europe have documented #bumblebee queen โmass-migration eventsโ (usually in Springtime) indicating that bumblebees are able to migrate over larger distances than previously thought.

Good news: We saved #bees. Bad news: We saved wrong ones.
"Suppose I were to say to you, 'I'm really worried about bird decline, so I've decided to take up keeping chickens.' You'd think I was a bit of an idiot," British bee scientist Dave Goulson said. But beekeeping is "exactly the same with one key difference, which is that honeybee-keeping can be actively harmful to wild-bee conservation." Even from healthy hives, diseases flow "out into wild pollinator populations."

Depending on species, male #bumblebees have specific height preferences at which they patrol spreading their queen attracting scent.
Some work their magic in the tree tops. Others are more down to earth.

Good Late-Morning To You. โ+๐ซ I've just come back in from morning chores & cleaning old comb off of some frames (it was almost black on some & full of moth eggs from overwintering). Thinking I might render #beeswax today? ๐ค #beekeeping
Over the weekend Hubby ordered me a 3 lb. package of Carniolan #bees for pickup in April. I'm still hoping to catch a swarm this spring though. ๐ค๐ผ
Hubby also slept thru his alarm this morning. Guess who saved him from being late? ๐
Have a good Monday!
I promised more level art for #AThousandBees and here we are, stocking the #farmshop. You can see how many #bees there are per screen, too!

Bees love puka tree flowers! Pic taken a few minutes ago. #bees #doubtlessbay #flowers #aotearoa
NEED TO KNOW:
40% of #bees and #pollinator species endangered worldwide
25% of bee species no longer showing up on field records across the #planet
76% decrease by mass in flying #insects in Germany ON NATURE RESERVES over a 26 year period
Bee populations decreasing by 5% each year
All caused by humans.
Primarily due to what we choose to eat and how we choose to produce it.

In late summer males of most species of #bumblebees try to attract new queens to mate by flying a circuit of up to a couple of hundred metres in length each morning depositing a pheromone on surfaces as a scent mark.
