Bee pollenis often relegated to the “health food” category of ingredients. Prized first and foremost for its nutritive qualities, and second for its actual gustatory attributes. Now don’t get us wrong. We applaud all attempts to incorporate bee pollen into your regular routine. By all means...
Bees with barbed stingers can often sting other insects without harming themselves. Queen honeybees and bees of many other species, including bumblebees and many solitary bees, have smooth stingers and can sting mammals repeatedly. In addition to its venom, a bee produces a number of useful ...
Unfortunately — as is so often the case — it’ll take time before the government catches up with the rest of us. It will be a while before they take action to protect all bees that make their home in the US. Until then, you can play a small (but very important) role in saving ...
However, this backfires, because not knowing how to communicate often creates conflict. This then leading towards a fight between the two people to find who will be superior, or in other words, the master. The person who loses the fight, and is seen as weak, will become the slave. Hegel...
edges, just take a quick swipe with a bee brush and then slide the super the rest of the way. (If the hive is really populous, you may have to swipe the back end as well. If so, do the back end first and then the front, because there will always be more bees at the front.)...

Another way beekeepers make money is by renting their bees or hives to farmers. Farmers rely on pollination for their crops and will oftenpay for bees to pollinate their fields. While the cost to rent bees varies greatly depending on the season and area, most farmers pay $50 – $180 per...
I’m eager to try the smoothie for breakfast, big salad for lunch idea. Do you have a similar “forumula” for salads? That would be really helpful for someone as kitchen-clueless as I am. Since becoming a vegetarian, I cook much more often out of necessity, but I find I’m not ...
Instead, they have to rely on the sun to warm their bodies. Since they can’t fly unless they're warm enough, you will often see butterflies resting and warming up their bodies. It is a good idea to make an area where the butterflies can suntan and relax before they take off. ...
Putting a weak or queenless colony with a strong one improves its survival chances for the winter, and the smaller colony often accepts the new colony’s queen with ease. Combining colonies might be a good idea anyway since larger colonies will have a stronger, warmer cluster, more food ...
