Man and disregard for the environment is the reason for the vanishing bees.

So I was out in the back of the yard today and came across a beautiful sight.

A Bombus Melanopygus or Black tailed Bumble Bee nest in a birdhouse. I have a ton of bees of all sorts in my garden. I refuse to use anything that is harmful to bees in my yard and the result is a safe haven for them. They like it here. Lots of food for them. I've been researching these bees and I'm going to do everything I can to make accommodations for a queen or two to want to stay around and nest again next year.

Just doing my small part to help the bees. When the bees go so does our food supply. I don't think most people realize how necessary bee's really are. I find it mind boggling that people are so naive that they continue to spray poison that kills bees in order to get rid of a few other pests.


I have some of the mud you use for Mason bees and I put some on a couple rocks next to the birdhouse thinking they would use it for building nests to lay eggs. I then realized they were not Mason bees and don't use mud. I have a bunch of tubes for mason bees but they've never used them. I think I'll move them to a different part of the yard and see if I can't get some to use them.

My bees are protected by the second amendment
Not the usual I realize but true

I have a friend with a bee yard I often visit. Been learning about them for a couple years contemplating starting some hives but it's the one more thing thing stopping me only right now. Not much about bees particularly honey bees that doesn't amaze me

I have observed a wild colony in Jamaica.
They are super smart.
They were gathering leaves at the entrance of the hive, apparently these particular leaves are repellent to ants that are their enemy!

Also saw a wild swarm couple months ago.
Amazing sight to see.

This is a different colony that i observed, not the one with the leaves...

How much would you give to try some of that hallucinatory honey. I could never make the journey to get it though. A guy can dream

You must be referring to the Nepalese honey.

Yes indeed. Quite the journey the villagers make for it. I've never been afraid of heights,work at height fairly regularly but something tells me if I was hanging off a cliff on homemade rope and rope ladders I would be lol

Never really been into hallucinating either but the adventure and the fact its honey and bees is awesome to me.

They are very smart, they also have a unique dance at the hive entrance to communicate exactly where food, water etc is located. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waggle_dance

I am fortunate to have a large area of intact forest right next to my garden. My garden is swarming with bumble bees. When the plums are in bloom you can hear the buzz from 30 feet away. I so much enjoy walking right into the middle of it and being a part of it all.

my garden and growing space is fairly wild. I have mistaklingly dug up bumble bee nests. My point, we focus so much on flowers for them but no one is saying anything about making sure they have a place to sleep. Undisturbed wild areas help foster the bees other needs.

I have flowers all over for the bees and bird baths to make sure everyone has some water. What I noticed this year is that I don't have as many bees as last year and am not sure if it is because of the weather or what. I don't spray any chemicals on my yard and I let my weeds grow out fully and get the grass all funky but I rather feed nature than vanity.

Still hoping I get my bee friends back!

The Bee decline can be linked with the increase in microwaves. Not microwave ovens but cellular networks use microwaves.

Bees use the magnetic field to navigate and some frequencies (whether phone related or not) are most definitely interfering with them.

Maybe it’s messing with our younger generation as they are fucked. Emails flying through your head n shit

A tree bumble bee, it's a new arrival relatively speaking.


Bees are extremely fascinating creatures.
