#theBeeAt3

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Bees visit #flowers for nectar and pollen. Nectar provides energy and nutrients. Pollen is a source of protein that is mostly fed to their young.

‘Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.’

Just a quick snapshot of bumblebee life. Nothing more. Nothing less. Nature at her purest here on World Bee Sanctuary during the week. No AI. No CGI. No deceit. No lies. No egos. No kings. #bumblebees #wildflowers #fieldscabious #meadows #summer #nature #wildlife #worldbeesanctuary #bees #environment #insects #biodiversity #beesofmastodon

People often enquire about the landscape around us here at World Bee Sanctuary. Well…if you send a drone up directly above us and do a 360° (which we did) this is what you get… Farmland and commercial forestry. Absolutely nothing of permanence for #nature. #wicklow #ireland #worldbeesanctuary

#theBeeAt3

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Keeping honey bees does NOT help our declining native wild bee populations. In fact keeping honey bees means more bees competing for ever more precious forage.

‘Bees are for life not just for honey.’

#theBeeAt3

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Bees are a #vegan evolution of wasps - feeding on #nectar and #pollen collected from #flowers rather than on prey.

‘Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.’

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Only about 10% of bee species are social. The other 90% are solitary #bees. They live in individual nests, don’t have a queen and don’t make honey.

‘The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude’

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Male bumblebees can’t sting. (No stinger). They’re primarily here to do the wild thing!

‘Let me tell you about the birds and the #bees And the flowers and the trees And the moon up above And a thing called love’

#theBeeAt3

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Bumblebees will forage up to three miles from their nest - but prefer to feed closer to home conserving energy.

‘Leave the road, take the trails’

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 4. At least 1 in 3 species of bee in Ireland are endangered/threatened with extinction. Ponder that. Gone. Forever. Extinct. ‘Humans regard animals as worthy of protection only when they are on the edge of extinction.’ #bees #nature #wildlife #bumblebees #thistle #flowers #environment #worldbeesanctuary #education #science #extinction #pollinators

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 2. A new study suggests there are an estimated 26,000 species of bee on Earth. “It seems to me that at this time we need education in the obvious more than investigation of the obscure.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. #bees #nature #wildlife #environment #science #education #worldbeesanctuary #bumblebees

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 319 Bumblebees got rhythm! Or more to the point - bumblebees get rhythm! Recent research found that not only can bumblebees recognise a rhythm but they can identify the same pattern even when the tempo is adjusted. 🐝🤯 #bees #pollinators #nature #environment #science #education #wildlife #worldbeesanctuary #biodiversity #organic #vegan

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #repost ! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! Thank you.🙏🏼🐝🌍 1/9 #nature #environment #biodiversity #science #education #worldbeesanctuary

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 286 Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies. These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period. #bees #nature #worldbeesanctuary #environment #biodiversity #insects #science #education #vegan
