The Bee GuyThank you for reading and caring. PLEASE <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/repost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repost</a>. Don’t just like, <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/share" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#share</a>. The more informed, the more queens survive and the more <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a> we have. Simple. Our native wild <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> are in serious trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can. Thanks again for helping! For caring. For sharing. A little bit of good in a world that so needs it. 🌍🐝🙏🏼 9/9

The Bee Guy..be harmful to <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a>. Usually once she takes on some sugars & heats up she’ll happily fly off. Don’t bring her indoors for long periods! If she has already established a nest and laid eggs she needs to get back to sit on them to keep them warm - yes just like a hen! 8/9

The Bee GuyAs with sleeping dogs leave resting <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a> lie - for up to an hour before intervening. (Unless of course she is in imminent danger whereby she should be carefully moved to a safe place). However if after about an hour she is still present then she may need assistance. 6/9

The Bee GuyIt’s that time of year - people asking us about <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a> - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to. Please <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/repost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repost</a>. Every <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/queen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queen</a> that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> for next year! So this is important to share. Thank you. 1/9

This flower was in our garden when we moved in, but we need to rip it out each summer because it dries into a fire tender hazard.

dillydI saw some bees yesterday. I didn't get very clear photos. A honeybee, and some kind of solitary bee with a white face, and some bumblebees with white bums. I imagine these are common here in Marseille but they're new to me. <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a>

The Bee GuyEarly again. Something’s up. It’s not like me. Could it be a reflex response to the level of fuckery going on presently on this planet I hear you ask. What’s that? You didn’t ask that.
