RE: We Need to Understand Why Bees Are Dying
I don't know why but I was always under the impression the queen bee must have mated inside the hive where she lived, so I found it really interesting to learn otherwise.
As for why they're dying - it really is up to us humans to become more aware of what we are doing as it affects so many other creatures!
Let's hope we can turn things around in time. fingers crossed

Yes, fingers crossed. And I think each of us has to engage, somehow. Calmly and civilly do what we can. Since I wrote this blog I've been looking at bees as a larger subject. Wow. It is big. Honey bees are just the beginning. @ecoinstant alerted me to the invasive nature of honey bees--fascinating. I've been reading every since. Stay tuned :)
Thanks for your feedback!
Cool, I'll keep a look out then :)
I am really into bumble bees now, especially since I learned how much more efficient they are in the garden than say the honey bee. Their only downside being they don't give us honey, lol. But I keep them in mind as I plan my garden planting each year.
I really like bumble bees too. And it's a native species (I didn't know that). Just started reading about them. It seems only the females sting--but I wouldn't stop to determine gender before annoying :) Have fun in your garden!
