It’s back!!! #theBeeAt3 Let’s do this again…because we need to know this stuff. It matters. Please #repost / #share so more people can learn about #bees. It costs nothing and might just help these wonderful endangered creatures. Thanks folks. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 1. Bees have been around for about 130,000,000 (130 million) years. "In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.” Baba Dioum. #bees #nature #worldbeesanctuary

Shocker: THISTLE CAUGHT CATAPULTING BUMBLEBEE MID FORAGE…. Bee was okay after the event but did admit to being a bit shook by the ordeal… When asked for a comment the #thistle replied: ‘Go fuck yourself…it’s too hot here now…the wee bee had it coming…’ in a broad Scottish accent. #bees #nature

Bee Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep. You can live the burden of worries or the freedom of dreams… #bee #goodnight #dream

…are the #bees are too. So as you reach for some liquid refreshment remember to top up our #wild friends too. And be considerate and vigilant around the sources of #water you provide and keep in your garden/yard. Please pass this on. Thank you. #Repost and #share for the bees! Thanks folks!🐝🙏🏼 11/11

…amazing how often a seemingly ‘lost’ bee will quickly recover when given the chance to dry out and access to nectar or a 50/50 white sugar and water mix. To recap: the #wildlife in your #garden needs water too. Especially during the #summer. If you are #hot and #thirsty chances… 10/11 #nature

…places where #bees get in to trouble and die. So empty or cover these wherever possible and check periodically for ‘floating bees’. If you do see a floating bee don’t immediately presume she is dead! Fish her out as soon as possible and get her to a flower. It is… 9/11 #savethebees #education

Please also ensure to keep the water topped up daily and don’t be afraid if the #water is ‘nature’ dirty. Also please be vigilant about other water sources in your patch which may be dangerous for #bees. Buckets of water, watering cans and paddling pools/swimming pools are… 8/11 #gardening #pools

…with a gradual slope. They need to be able to access the water you supply in a safe manner. So please ensure that water left out is in a shallow container and has pebbles/small stones or similar in it to allow safe access & an exit if the bee happens to land in the #water. 7/11 #climate #planet

…you provide #water for the #wildlife and bees in your garden/yard. It is important though that this water is supplied in a manner that is safe for #bees. #bees can’t lift off when they land in water and their wings get wet. They need to be able to climb onto something… 6/11 #July #environment

#bees also source #water on #plants. Plants expel excess water and/or nutrients through small openings on leaves and stems through a process known as guttation. So where do you come in I hear you ask? Well during warm weather especially it is vital to ensure that… 5/11 #summer #heatwave #nature

…compensate for nutrient deficiencies in their diet at various times of the year. #honeybees prefer sodium-rich water for most of the year but in autumn as pollen supplies lessen they prefer water which contains magnesium, calcium & potassium - micronutrients found in… 4/11 #wildlife #biodiversity

Water is a source of essential #nutrients for #bees and this explains their preference for ‘dirty’ water sources containing organic matter, algae etc. Indeed #honeybees have the ability to and will change their preferred source of #water to an alternative in order to… 3/11 #nature #pollinators

…large amounts of water metabolically during flight #bumblebees are less prone to dehydration/desiccation than most terrestrial #insects. However they still need safe access to water. Research suggests that #bees locate sources of #water by smell rather than sight. 2/11

Mornin’. It’s hot out there so gonna repeat this one regarding #bees #wildlife and #water. Please #repost. Thanks! BEES NEED WATER! BEES GET STUCK IN AND DIE IN WATER! Here’s what you need to know! Given that they can collect water, their nectar based diet and their ability to generate… 1/11

…ubiquity of mobile devices - when our lives were mobile. When our minds were mobile. When time was ours. When we were people, not data. Customers, not a mark. Humans not pseudo-cyborgs. When boredom bred #creativity not swipes. When we were comfortable with silence. When we were comfortable… 2/n

Yeah, five weeks or so ago I filmed this wee #bumblebee working a foxglove #flower in the rain then I just put this phone down and walked away from it. Not planned. On impulse. I recommend you try it. Especially those among you who still have vague memories of existence without the devious… 1/n
