Let's take a quick look at BEES!
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."

Clearly, Angelina has taken all the bees!
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.

our 5 years of drought, caused the bees to leave, and I have seen a lot about how important they are, birds are important also and ours are gone. we rarely see a bird or a bee here. we have plenty of wasps though. I know our food supplie depends on the bees..
We need to plant more native flowers. My backyard is covered in yellow daisies just now. They came up from a pot of yellow daisies that I had sown from seed. The same ones that make The Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain! They grow around all the rock in this area too but they are also in the ditches and roadsides.too. The bees love them!!
Great Read....you are absolutely right. Our farm depends on the bee population to pollinate the trees that we grow. I try to plant flowers around our house that the bees love (hummingbirds too). I have a good many of the mystic blue salvia planted and the bees as well as bumble bees love them. We actually have people in our area who have bee hive boxes and they travel the country with them. They may stay in our area for 6 months and then they load the boxes on to a big truck and take them to another farm in a completely different state. Interesting!! I love the pumpkin cartoon...made me smile. Happy Wednesday Sandie. 🍁💛
Yes our bees are dying. We sell local honey from a bee keeper. He lives on one of the islands near us, so his bees never leave the island which is good. He planted flowers for them, but the flora on the island also helps. Janice
I don't use a lot of honey because I don't eat a lot of sugar (including honey, molasses, etc), but bees are so important that it is alarming when we don't see them as much as we used to. The only time in my life I didn't appreciate bees was when I was in high school and we lived in a house with a bottlebrush bush right by the front door. It looked beautiful, but at certain times of the year the bees completely took it over and it was tricky getting into the house when I got home from school!
Husband has honey in his evening tea. Bees are so important in this world.
I do hope the storm is not near you and you are high and dry.

I always, always smile when I visit you. I have not been good at visiting or blogging for a while now. Hubby's health continues to deteriorate so it's day by day here.
We always had hives on our farm-my uncle was a beekeeper and lived one farm away. We always had fresh comb honey. My favorite was always (and still is) clover honey. Although, when I lived in FL I loved orange blossom honey.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Sandi. xo Diana
Love the laugh at the end of this post. About bees - I've noticed, as I've gotten older, that I've become less fearful of them. Can't explain it but glad of it.
