Interesting Bee Facts

Rod from Hive World Honey

As you probably realize by now, I am passionate about bees.
Here are some interesting bee facts.
Every worker bee (females) have a particular job to do depending on her age.

When they hatch their first job is to keep the hive clean.

Next they progress to feeding the larvae and attending the queen.

Then they are responsible for taking the nectar and pollen that has been gathered and put it into the honeycomb.

Next they move on to producing beeswax for making the comb.

Then they have the important job of guarding the hive from intruders

Finally they get to be foragers, collecting nectar and pollen, also water. They will do this until they are worn out and their wing are in tatters (about 6 weeks in summer)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
