Bee

Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep.

Dream beyond their malevolent manufactured martyrs.

Bee on what I *think* is a Butterfly Sedum, in my backyard. I’m still trying to figure out what is planted here. It was pretty overgrown in sections when we moved in. Need to create a xeriscape plan for spring. #bee #nature #plants #pollinators #flowers

CNN reported on an event at which children ate sandwiches made with honey. CNN's article quoted Buckingham Palace as saying that the honey was "made by The Princess of Wales herself".

Uh, what? She MADE the honey? I hadn't realized that Catherine was a bee! How very kind of her to collect nectar, enzymatically process it within her body, then regurgitate it! She DID do that, right? Because that's how honey is made. What humans do is simply COLLECT honey, not MAKE honey.

"why do we need u, i am all the pollinator anybody needs in this town! "-- angry Jacobin

(i have photo'd 50 species of hummingbirds, the White-necked Jacobin is one of the most cooperative -- wide spread, bold, & just generally happy to give you lots of opportunities to practice)

Literally the bee's knees

Good morning lovely people! Tea and walkies have been achieved! More Tea in progress. On the book: weekly menu and grocery list and possibly some sewing. I don't think I have sewed all week.
Here's today's hot bee action

Day 9 #SciArtSeptember prompt is vanishing. This #linocut print rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) is handprinted on Japanese white and yellow papers, 8" x 8". The rusty-patched bumble is a pollinator native to North America and was common here in Ontario as recently as the 1980s. It is now sadly on the brink of extinction, designated federal Species at Risk in Canada.

“This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.”#bee #pollination #garden #weedkiller #pesticide #environment #weeds #dandelion #death #spring #agriculture #farming #food #foodsecurity

A happy accident

I saw many yellow flowers on our weekly walk to the river, and was wondering what they could be (I assumed some kind of sunflower, but wasn't sure). So I decided to consult PlantNet at home, and took a picture of one of the flowers to feed into the app. I had to twist the flower and myself, reaching up precariously to snap the photo. It turned out pretty good, didn't it?

Ivy Bee (Colletes hederae) - a species new to science in 1993 that subsequently colonised much of Europe. These emerge en masse as soon as the Ivy comes into flower.
