I had to laugh at the bees-caring-for-young-and-taking-in-bees-from-other-colonies. For some reason it made me think of Russian society and the it-takes-a-village-to-raise-a-child thing. There's a Russian film I adore called 'Night Watch', and when our main character Anton goes onto a crowded subway, he gets an earful from a woman he's bumping into. Apparently she feels completely free to tell him off like a scolding mother. And he just shrugs it off. It just made me think of grumbling bees telling the other bees to move over and make room for the straggler. LOL! Strange insight into how my mind works... Completely fascinating T13, Claudia.

I did have to move the bushes that attracted the bees to the side of the house. But after reading your previous bee posts, I didn't just dig them up. I am always so interested in your bee posts.

I love the smells of smoke and wax from collecting the honey. I always think of my father when I see bees loaded down with pollen. They are amazing. Thank you for sharing all this info!

I've been interested in honey bees for as long as I remember. I keep toying with the idea of volunteering for an urban hive to help the current surviving population expand. I've had a fear of nearly all insects and arachnids since I was little so talk about immersion therapy. :) Do we know of hive failure solely from kept bees, or do we have numbers on how many have disappeared from the wild as well? ~X Thank you so much for this!
