The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queens – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/11/24/the-queen-is-dead-long-live-the-queens
The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queens. November 24, 2016. November 24, 2016. Sometime during the winter our bee queen passed away. Seeing no brood we worried, but we read online that sometimes Italian Queens were slow to start laying in Spring. Then we saw erratic egg laying with several eggs in each cell, but we read online that this sometimes this happens with young queens. We are all looking forward to an abundant summer.

Adventures in Natural Beekeeping. Bees, Hives, Swarms, and Everything under the Sun. Bee-Loving Flowers in Mid Summer. July 30, 2015 by solarbeez. I could have shot a bunch of stills of these bees pollinating flowers, but the video together with the music conveys so much more. I hope you especially enjoy the leaf cutter bees demonstrating their petal cutting abilities and the crab spider attacking the honeybee…and missing! Says that the African Blue Basil will produce flowers all summer. Hi Amelia…...

The Tropical Border And How I Learned To Hate Soaker Hose | The Anxious Gardener
https://theanxiousgardener.com/2015/07/21/the-tropical-border-and-how-i-learned-to-hate-soaker-hose
A Gardening Blog. Mostly. The Gardens And Me. The Tropical Border And How I Learned To Hate Soaker Hose. July 21, 2015. Like last year, I gambled on a fine spring by planting up the tropical border early. In mid-April, to a comb-and-tissue-paper fanfare, I dug up the big red banana (. From its winter-greenhouse-home and wheeled it into position. And then I did the same for the ‘small’ one. Within a day or two of planting, temperatures took a dive and I gave the red bananas a little protection. I hadnR...

Eight is the magic number, sort of | Miss Apis Mellifera
https://missapismellifera.com/2014/10/04/eight-is-the-magic-number-sort-of
Adventures of an aromatherapy beekeeper. Skip to primary content. Eight is the magic number, sort of. October 4, 2014. When you first start learning to be a beekeeper, you may be taught that 8 mm is the magic number of the ‘bee space’. Perhaps this is easier to learn when starting to build your own hives. In truth, it’s closer to 6 9 mm. What is bee space? Why is it important to remember bee space? Because any gap that is too small (less than 6 mm) the bees will fill with propolis, a sticky resinous subs...

Summer surprise | Miss Apis Mellifera
https://missapismellifera.com/2015/07/12/summer-surprise
Adventures of an aromatherapy beekeeper. Skip to primary content. July 12, 2015. Our first summer in the Crooked House is passing quickly. The blue tit family has flown away and the mason bees are sealed behind mud doors. This year’s crop tastes of blackberries and lime. My kitchen was filled with the smell of freshly spun comb after I took three frames of honey from Queen Melissa’s hive. The comb dripped generously as the wax caps were taken off. I returned the wet frames to the supers for the bees to c...

Bees, bugs, butterflies and flowers. Skip to primary content. Bumblebees sleeping in flowers. July 16, 2012. Above you can see photos of Garden bumblebee. Male falling asleep on a spike of lavander flower. I took the photograph in the evening, just as sunset was over and the temperature was goind down. The bumble bees showed signs of having difficulty to move and setteled on the flowers of a border of lavender for the night. Even getting right into them, in case of big flowers, is what they normally do.

Premo from London Blog. Artisan Honey and Hand-Picked Tea. Become one of our selected stockists. November 7, 2014. By Premo from London - Blog. Well here we are in about 1973. Me and Judi sitting on very parched grass leading up to those very hot summers in 1976. Our lawn used to be full of clover and bumble bees. So many bumblebees that you had to care where you ran or you could get stung. Posted in My business. Getting chilly – time to get ready for a winter hamper. October 28, 2014. Bees in my garden.
