SEPTEMBER 24 BEES


Where are we walking to today?



Let's take a quick look at BEES!


The other day - a bee flew into my car - thank goodness I was parked getting the mail.  I opened the other side of the car passenger door so he could fly out either way.
I was taking the mail trying to swat him safely out.
Finally went out!

Funny such a little bee can scare a big grown up!

Not for Angelina though.


SOME BEE INFORMATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED:

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR BEES?  (click if interested in more info)

Insecticides, weather, stress, loss of habitat, parasites - all sorts of conditions are tough on them.

WHAT IS IT COSTING OUR WORLD?

"We may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain. Which means a world without bees could struggle to sustain the global human population of 7 billion. Our supermarkets would have half the amount of fruit and vegetables. It gets worse."

WHY ARE BEES ESSENTIAL FOR US?  (click if interested in more info).

"Bees are one of the most important insects on the planet. They are responsible for pollinating plants, which is essential for the survival of many species of plants and animals. Without bees, many plants would die off, and the animals that rely on those plants for food would also perish. In other words, bees are crucial to the survival of many species, including humans."

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!


Bees are amazing creatures that we need for the world to survive.
We have to have a healthy respect for them though as a lot of people are allergic to them.

HaHa...Sandi's comment made me laugh.
Bees are so fascinating. Something that is so tiny can be so important to the life cycle of our world. Thanks for sharing all the interesting information.

Wow, this bird in flight photo is wonderful. The chicken deboning video will not show, just a black screen. Yes, I am scared of bees, but we just cannot kill even one, they are so precious!

our son is an entomologist, and is concerned about the bee population too.

That is interesting about the bees. We have two large sections in our backyard that is loaded with bees everyday and I feel good about that. When we had Skye she learned to stay out of there during the day since she had gotten stung early on. I want to get another pup but I worry about the bees.

I only learned about the bees contributions a few years ago ... wow. My favorite is, perhaps, the honey aids in cancer recovery. (https://www.monash.edu.my/research/our-research/a-spoonful-of-honey-a-day-keeps-cancer-away)

This is a wonderful entry. I was surprised to learn that in Florida there is a big business where the Bee owners rent out their bee hives to Citrus growers during the blooming season. But you are right, a little be can cause some big humans to go spastic. Love you lady, this entry is not only interesting but info that is much needed. It is hard for us to realize God has a reason for every creature. My wife has wondered about my reason, at times. again Love ya!

I've been hearing about the bees and it's a real concern.
I had seen the idea about the chicken before and tried it. It sure looks like it works, but it didn't work for me. I must have been doing something wrong! Or maybe the chicken I bought wasn't as tender.

Oh, that was interesting to read because my son has been eating honey instead of sugar lately. I have heard about the bees and what would happen if they weren't around, so sad. Funny story about the bee in your car and swatting him with your mail. I'm glad he didn't sting you. Not sure if I mentioned this to you, but I'm allergic to bees. Got stung once when I was little and swelled up. So, I try to stay far away from them. That honey comb looks like stairs! How cool is that? And I love that smiley sky with the birds. This was a delightful post today, Sandie. I enjoyed it all.
