Spent a lovely few hours here on the bee sanctuary recently in the company of the gentleman that is Keith Duggan.
The results of our chat are in the Irish Times Magazine today.
Huge genuine thanks to Keith and Ciara Kenny at @irishtimes for telling our story. And of course my partner in crime @thebeegirl for the images.
For #bees.
Always!

More energy for reproduction if not fighting disease?
Reduced infection improving forage effectiveness?
Research still has to find the answers to why #sunflowers in #bumblebee diet seems to mean more queens produced.

The number of queens a #bumblebee colony produces is a good indicator of the health of the colony.
Research found that increasing levels of #sunflower pollen in a colony diet sees the colony rear 30% more queens.

When the #solutions are this beautiful, this simple, then why the resistance? The reticence?
Are we that far gone that this scares us? Doesnāt call to us?
Is lost to us?
I donāt believe so.
Do you?

So youāre a red arsed #bumblebee worker. Youāve been working the flowers for hours collecting nectar/pollen. You need a bit of āmeā time before you return to the hustle and bustle of the nestā¦
This is how you do it.
Brings to mind the Homer Simpson hedge GIF.

A study in Switzerland focusing on two species of #bumblebee commonly found throughout Europe suggests that āCity Bumblebeesā are smaller but more phenotypically diverse than their āCountry Bumblebeeā cousins.

Observation suggests that the first #bumblebee workers leave the nest not at sunrise but up to 2 hours later. The trigger for departure is when the overnight temperature changes from falling to rising and the sun is up.

Dumbledore, Dandelions and Donāt.
#Dumbledore - an old English word for #bumblebee!
#Dandelions - #flowers not #weeds and vital early forage for #bees.
Donāt - donāt use #poisons like #glyphosate in your #garden. Theyāre designed to harm and kill.
And they do!
