Today's Science Fact:

Honey bees(Apis mellifluous), they are an intricate part of everyone's daily life.

Bees make honey true, but the biggest contribution is that they are pollinators.

In North America, the European honey bee is integral to agriculture, doing its part in the sex life of trees and other flora. Moving pollen from the male antor to the female stigma.

(aka, using its hairy body to transport pollen from different plants)

This accounts for 15 billion dollars worth of annual yield in the USA alone!

The honey bee was an invasive insect in North America. But, now it's under threat from pesticides, infections, and giant hornets! Destroying entire colonies.

With science, one of the killers will be stopped, with a vaccine to inauculate the colony from bacteria, Paenibacillus larvae. Introducing it to the Queen, which will pass it on to all new larve

But do your part and spray less pesticides!

Vegetables picked for Christmas and next week. Sprouts have been a success, parsnips are hugging and I will make a leek and potato soup next week. #vegatables #growyourown #allotment #sprouts #brusselsprouts

This is where the #Love of #gardening started. This is #Me & my #Dad . He passed away sometime ago but we had half an acre which was almost all #vegatables. My #garden is my sanity x

We're not only newbies when it comes to #homeGrown #vegatables but also to living a greener life. Not that our #ecological #footprint was huge (we don't owe a car and we don't fly for city trips or vacations. But we know we can do better.
