Creating a buzzworthy haven for our pollinator pals 🐝🌼 Provide Nesting Sites: Many native bee species are solitary, and they nest in the ground, hollow stems, or other small cavities. Leave some areas of your garden with undisturbed soil or create nesting structures, such as bee hotels, to support these bees.

Honey bee infodump time again:
A queen bee, unlike a worker bee, can sting more than once.
When the worker bees of a colony need to make a new queen, they will grow up to 6 queen bees to hatch at around the same time. The queen bees then fight to the death, and in the end, the only one left standing, the triumphant surving victor, becomes the queen of the colony.
So. The Bee Hunger Games.

Bechbretha | Brehon Law on Beekeeping
In ancient Ireland, beekeeping was so important that there was a complete list of laws dedicated to beekeeping, called  ‘Bechbretha’, during the time of our Brehon laws. In the seventh century AD the laws were written down for the first time. Brehon law was administered by Brehons, or ‘brithem’ derived from the Irish ‘breitheamh’ meaning judge, the successors to Celtic druids. In many respects…

What’s wrong with eating honey?
Unfortunately, like factory farmers, many beekeepers take inhumane steps to ensure personal safety and reach production quotas. It’s not unusual for larger honey producers to cut off the queen bee’s wings so that she can’t leave the colony or to have her artificially inseminated on a bee-sized version of the factory farm “rape rack.” When the keeper wants to move a queen to a new colony, she is carried with “bodyguard” bees, all of whom—if they survive transport—will be killed by bees in the new colony. Bees may be killed or have their wings and legs torn off by haphazard handling.
According to the Cook-DuPage Beekeepers Association, humans have been using honey since about 15,000 B.C., but it wasn’t until the 20th century that people turned bees into factory-farmed animals. Happily, many sweeteners are made without killing bees: Rice syrup, molasses, sorghum, Sucanat, barley malt, maple syrup, organic cane sugar, and dried fruit or fruit concentrates can replace honey in recipes. Using these will keep your diet bee-free.

This st. Valentine’s Day, remember not to exclude st. Valentine’s other favorite things in your celebrations, as he was not only the patron saint of lovers, but also beekeepers and people with epilepsy.

The latest hive inspection revealed multiple queen cells that have hatched. So our girls are making (or have already made) a new queen.
It's entirely possible that that swarm in our tree was actually a portion of our bees led by the old queen. The colony has grown large enough to split. This is normal behavior for honey bees. Otherwise, honey bee colonies worldwide would never multiply.

Beekeeping is my way of life.
Tumblr media
“Bees are extremely intelligent insects,” said Ligia Elena Moreno Veliz, from La Fé, Venezuela. Once afraid of the pollinators, through an FAO scholarship, she now runs a thriving business specializing in queen bee breeding and is passing on knowledge to others.
She also broke a glass ceiling. Today, while only four of the community’s 30 beekeepers are women, the taboo is now gone, she said.
Meanwhile, climate change is worrisome, she added. Climate instability, inconsistency in tree blooms and pollution cause bees to have new patterns of behaviour, adapting to the changes in flowering times.To address this challenge, Ligia Elena and her co-workers have planted new trees to attract bees again.
���Beekeeping is my way of life,” she said. “It is the livelihood of my family and an activity that I hope my daughters will continue to do in the future.”
Once afraid of bees, Ligia Elena now treasures these creatures that have given her a livelihood for the last 17 years, a livelihood that began with an FAO programme in her village.
