I'm on the last quarter of #AloneWithYouInTheEther by #OlivieBlake and wanted to post to #bookstodon since it is #WorldBeeDay and the book does have some buzzy boi tie-ins.

A character describes bees as "a godless society of women" and I think that's pretty great.

I'm listening to this as an audiobook, it's a really neat production with two narrators that isn't overly dramatic. For me, listening to books instead of visually reading them makes me slow down and appreciate the imagery more, and I find that's true here. Sadly, it makes it more work for me to pull quotes, so you'll just have to believe me that the details peppered in here are great.

Also, I really appreciate the realness of their love and their limitations.

CW the book for sex, cheating, court-ordered psychiatry.

@savebees i guess its always #WorldBeeDay somewhere

Busy buzzing bees
Nature's hardest working workers
Surprising facts abound

Most likely this bee belongs to a human-kept hive, not an uncommon hobby here in the city. She was hard at work gathering nectar early this morning, and while I usually focus on native insects she was very enjoyable to watch.

#DYK? Planting a native pollinator garden is one of the easiest ways to help protect pollinators like bees, which are incredibly important to our ecosystem. 🌱

#worldbeeday does anybody have pictures of the black horn bee? They're one of my favorites.

Every year, Dublin Cycling Campaign organise a tour of local community gardens. This year I joined in, starting at the Stillgarden distillery garden in Inchicore.
This is a small patch of ground at the entrance to an industrial estate. It was a dump, down a steep slope to the Camac. Now it is full of pollinator-friendly plants, with people from the community regularly coming to help garden.

I am allergic to #bees, but I love them as well...It's a love/hate thing 😂 🐝 #worldbeeday2023 #worldbeeday

Guten Morgen! Bei den beiden pelzigen Bienchen auf der Dachpappe vermute ich, dass es Sandbienen sein könnten. Ob es allerdings Rotschopfige oder „Bärtige Sandbienen“ oder doch ganz andere aus der Gattung Andrena sein könnten, vermag ich nicht zu sagen. Ich werde also bei nächster Gelegenheit wieder Ausschau halten. Habt einen angenehmen Sonntag!

Last one for #WorldBeeDay. It is shocking how many photos of dandelion flowers I have taken. Some of the photos contain other critters, like this bee.

Another nod to World Bee Day...
