A rare sight I felt very privileged to see - a wild hive of #honeybees exposed when the dead tree they were nesting in fell. Too often dead trees are cleared away out of fear of liability or a misplaced sense of tidiness, but they have an amazing afterlife nourishing fungi and insects, & providing sheltering cavities for birds, bats and bees.

It's going to be a massacre if the murder hornets spread throughout the United States 😱

Amazing. Coincidentally, bees are host to the bee louse (#Braulidae), which is nothing other than a wingless fly adapted to live on bee bodies … just like bat flies do on bats.

As deadly, unrelenting heat scorches Arizona, some entomologists are growing concerned about the increasing number of dead honeybees – a species vital to our #ecosystem, especially #FoodProduction.
By Jared Formanek, CNN
Published Aug 3, 2023 4:09 PM EDT
"'It’s a very major concern,' Shaku Nair, an entomologist with the University of Arizona, told CNN, 'Honeybees can forage up to 113 degrees. As of July, we’ve had many days over 113 degrees, so bees are taking a bad hit right now.'"

Not a value judgement, we likely need all #pollinators at this point, but native species are cute and don't appear to compete as much as you might think!
