So bumblebee queens are bigger than workers and tend to have longer tongues.
But the research found that these longer tongues have relatively less hairs meaning less efficiency at capturing the liquid nectar!

The #OrangeBallTree is native to #Chile.
It's been cultivated here as a popular ornamental in pollinator gardens. This flowering tree had hundreds of #pollinators feeding on it. It is a beautiful flower tree! 🧡
It's used as a cultural #MedicinalPlant too. Infusion of their leaves is used topically for the treatment of wounds, burns & ulcers.

Beekeeping Laws in Idaho: Understanding Regulations and Compliance

Idaho's approach to beekeeping stands out from many other states because of its agriculture-focused economy and practical regulations. If you're thinking about keeping bees in Idaho, you'll find a system designed to support both small hobby beekeepers and large commercial operations. In Idaho, hobbyist beekeepers with fewer than 50 colonies must register with the Idaho State Department of Agriculture but face minimal restrictions, while commercial beekeepers with 50 or more colonies have […]

The story

In Silent Spring, the second Busy Bee story and named after Rachel Carson’s famous book, the creatures of Old Oak Meadow start to fall ill. Bea and her friends must try to find out why. There seems to be some bad things going on in one of the farms next to the meadow. What are they and how do they stop what is making everyone sick?

This is one of Alice Wright’s wonderful illustrations that can be seen throughout the book.

Just bee friendly T-shirt

A T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range. Just bee friendly V1B design. Bees are very important to us with our human centric views and few realise how much of the food we eat is all down to the hard working bees and the less well known pollinators. We need to stop using pesticides in the search of producing ever cheaper food and learn how to deal with the human species environmental footprint. This means living sustainably and that means finding a sustainable number of human primates that the planet can support at any one time. (S&P)

Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.

This is the link to the T-shirt itself, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/product/just-bee-v1b/.
