Think all pollination of flowering plants activity takes place during daylight hours? Over 60% of all invertebrates are active at night when much additional pollination takes place. Contact me to learn more and schedule a presentation and discussion about nocturnal pollination for your group!
Nice swarm capture this morning.
Great time tonight at the Parkland Community Library talkin bees, native plants and pollinators! Contact me to arrange for a presentation to your group!
Two requests for help yesterday, but challenging removals. Both are well-established colonies, one having been an attempted trap-out by another beek (with no success) and a second one established in a sycamore tree, which has been active for years.
Honey bee swarm captured from southside Bethlehem and hived in a new home in the bee yard.
A somewhat rare occurrence about 12 miles north of me. Probably a swarm which landed on this branch and couldn’t reach a consensus as to picking a new sheltered home, so they started constructing comb. Not a good prospect for long term survival, as they are exposed to the elements and predators.
California almond industry depends on commercial beekeepers to provide hives of bees to pollinate the almond blossoms every February.
