Happy Father's Day #Drones ❤️🐝@Regrann from @bee.what - There are three types of #bees in a #beehive. Posting for the Drones today. 🐝🐝🐝 #Drones are #malebees. They do not have #stingers, and they do not collect #nectar or #pollen. Their sole purpose is to impregnate the #Queenbee. Upon mating with her, he becomes paralyzed and dies. What a sacrifice for the hive. ❤️🐝 #fatherfigure #happyfathersday #savethebees #beeeducated #yummyhoneyswim #thebeemusic #beewhat #beefashion #beeart #beemusic #beefood #beeknowledge

Here's the latest update from our US Pest sponsored beehives! #Repost @uspesttn (@get_repost) ・・・ Bee Hive sponsorship update from June (Read on to get full update!) “The US Pest hives are doing amazing! We are so happy with the progress these little hives are showing. This month we were struck with the notion that big things come from small steps. The above picture showcases this concept. Just what is this picture?? Well, it’s a close up shot of some baby US Pest honeybees. Baby bees that have not quite hatched out yet are called “brood.” All around the open cells in this picture are capped (sealed) cells full of baby bees just about to hatch out. The 3 holes that are open in the center of this picture tell a whole story to the trained observer. The opening and closing of cells during the time when a baby bee is turning into an adult is a sign of extremely hygienic bees. They don’t want anything messing with the future of their offspring. What happened in this picture is a small pest called a varroa mite snuck into the cell and started feeding on the baby bee. The adult bees wouldn’t stand for this and immediately opened the top of the cell early and removed the pest thus saving the baby bee’s life. The adult bees do “whatever it takes” to keep the future of the hive alive and healthy. Doesn’t that message sound familiar? Clearly these hives have a connection with the people at US Pest!” #BeeAware #BeeInformed #BeeEducated#USPest (at Franklin, Tennessee)

What’s the Difference Between Honey Bees and Wasps?

It is important to note that there are several differences between bees, honey or bumble, and wasps. As the picture from www.nzbees.net depicts, the main differences that are easily identifiable can be attributed to their outer appearance and disposition. Bees are usually classified as gentle, they are determined to create honey and pollinate plants. Wasps, on the other hand, are more interested in food and protecting their nest.

When people think “bee” it is common for them to think of the flying insect that circles garbage cans, family picnics, and caused them to get an itchy painful sore as a child. The insects that do these things are wasps. Bee, in general, usually don’t bother people. They are more concerned with providing pollen to their hive and creating enough honey t,o survive the winter.

The main aesthetic difference between bees and wasps, also shown in the picture, is their outer appearance. Bees are typically described as being “fluffy” or “furry” looking. This is because the hairs on the outside of their body are designed to pick up excess pollen to help transport it to as many plants as possible and then back to their hive. While wasps have what looks like a shiny exoskeleton. They are designed more as an attack insect set up for self-survival and protection of their nest. They also have pronounced stingers ready to attack at a moment’s notice whether provoked or not.

A simple way to think of the difference between these two insects is to consider a honey bee as your family pet only there to help and a wasp as the vicious attack dog your neighbor had as a child.

If you would like to comment on my post or if you have anything to add, I would be happy to facilitate a conversation about this topic to aid in group learning.

Nothing more to add, just love and respect. ❤️ #Repost @honeybeecentrekids ・・・ #BlackHistoryMonth It’s Black History month. Today @honeybeecentrekids is learning and sharing about Dr. George Washington Carver (1860s - January 5, 1943) who was an American agricultural scientist, inventor and university professor who promoted alternate crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion. He developed techniques to improve the soil quality because he wanted poor farmers to have the ability to grow food crops and improve their quality of life. There are many interesting facts about Carver and I would encourage you to read all about him. Things like, he considered weeds “nature’s vegetables” and he put people before money. Did you know that Dr. George Washington Carver was also a beekeeper? While teaching at Tuskegee Normal, now known as Tuskegee University, every student had to learn beekeeping as part of their curriculum. How cool is that!? Is there someone who contributed to beekeeping that you’d like to learn or teach about? Let us know!!
