Bee Flies Spend Lots of Valuable Time Searching for Nectar
Fly, Bee Fly Like most pollinators, bee flies (Poecilanthrax lucifer) are very hard workers and much of their work as adults consists of gathering nectar and pollen. To accomplish this they try to find areas where flowers are fairly dense and then they fly from flower to flower collecting as much as they possibly can. They are very accomplished fliers who are fast, able to turn quickly, and can…

I left some tops of plants I had let go to seed (a couple different lettuces, radishes, and mustard greens) that I harvested to save seeds from in open paper shopping bags outside to give the bugs that were on them time to skedaddle before I brought them inside to pick all the seeds out to save them but yknow... ADHD, out of sight out of mind lol so I forgot about them for a few weeks and sure all the aphids and squash bugs left, but in that time a bunch of tiny little spiders moved in. Which is still better tbh (I'm honestly fine with spiders especially little ones but I absolutely DETEST squash bugs, and the aphids I just don't want to spread to my indoor plants) but also inconvenient. Guess I will be wearing gloves while I seed harvest and doing my seed harvesting sitting outside instead of inside.
#i spent most of yesterday collecting seeds to save too#but from my basil plants in my herb garden out front#i read that basil seeds were easy to collect because you just rub them between your fingers#and the seeds fall out and then you can easily blow away the chaff to separate it from the seeds#I DID NOT FIND THIS TO BE TRUE#i mean sure in theory its easy but when you have a pile of HUNDREDS of tiny little flowers that you have to do that to it is not easy lol#and i cant do more than one or two at a time because i dont have enough finger strength to rub them apart well if i do more than that#so i was picking one or two flowers off at a time to get 3-4 seeds to fall out from each of them and then trying to carefully separate them#which is also not as easy as people make it seem because those seeds are teeny tiny and barely weigh more than the chaff does#sat in the kitchen on my stool doing that for like two hours yesterday#only got 1/3 of the way through the flowers i collected from ONE JUST ONE of my chinese sweet basil plants#and i still have flowers from two mammolo basils and another two chinese sweet basils and a thai holy basil and a thai sweet basil to do#i did get like hundreds of seeds from that little bit of chinese sweet basil i did yesterday though so like#safe to say i will never need to buy basil seeds again lol#which is nice esp for the thai holy and chinese sweet basil because those seeds were kinda pricey#'pricey' for seeds being 50 seeds in a $3 packet lol which is not a lot on its own but when you're ordering like 50 packets of seeds#all around that price or a little bit more ($3-$5) that adds up quick#hence why i am doing so much seed collecting this year to minimize rebuying next year#also to see what hybrids i get since i did not keep everything separated to avoid cross pollination intentionally#esp the pumpkins i really want to see what i get from those seeds if they got cross pollinated#rambling in the tags again whoops my adhd meds kicked in an now i cant stop typing or talking lol#did you know theres a tag limit? like it will let you keep adding tags but after some point they stop showing up after you post?#learned that thanks to adhd med related tag rambling on my other blog a while ago lol

Rose in the Bramble
✨A themed cocktail for the party sídhe✨
1 1/2 oz sloe gin
1/2 oz crème de violette
1/4 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz blackberry syrup or jelly
1/4 oz rosewater
Sprig of thyme
Ice
1 egg white or 3 TBSP egg whites
Plain seltzer to finish
Put all liquids other than egg whites into shaker with thyme and ice and just kinda jostle ‘em around for a second. Add the egg, cap and shake for a minute and a half. Strain into a highball glass/whatever you have/a normal goddamn glass with more ice. Top off with seltzer. Drink or offer it.
This is just a fancy gin fizz. Great for Bealtaine!

Fall Pollinators are Coming Out for the Fall Wildflowers
Just a Little Black Bee The winged sumac (Rhus copallinum), which is definitely a fall wildflower, albeit an early one, was highly attractive to many pollinators while it was in full bloom. Along with the usual summer crowd, I’m beginning to see some of the fall group like this carpenter mimic leafcutter bee (Megachile xylocopoides). Although they can be found in small numbers in the summer, I…

Here's my two day late piece for Drawtober day 11. The prompt was forest and I felt really inspired to create a sweet little piece of a delivery driver. I was really inspired by an old OTGW piece by @mashaalapsha so you can see a lot of shape and colour influence in my piece thanks to her! I was also in the mood to write a creative accompaniment for this piece so I hope you enjoy it cause I loved working on it! I'll be back later with today's Drawtober so that I can hopefully get back on schedule after a stressful work week.
Honeybee Express
Fall was always a chaotic season for courier companies. You could make all of your deliveries on time and somehow it still wouldn't be enough for all the greedy butterflies or bees stocking up for the winter. Hives or local businesses were always requesting more than a local supplier could handle or, more than likely, some old painted lady bought as much as your scooter could handle so she could jar it all in her basement for the next thirty years.
Young Cillian had been with Honeybee Express for all but five months, all of which was over the summer when pollen was abundant and drivers were available. So when old Hamish told Cillian "You be careful on those backroads in Hickory Wood! Those bumps an' ruts ain't worth speeding over." he really should have listened. A little too hard on the gas was about to cost Cillian a basket of Gladiolus and a bruise on the abdomen... No doubt Hamish would have a wry smile on his face the second Cillian walks through with dirt on his cap and a crease in his wing.
Thanks for reading if you got this far! I'm self-concious of my writing so if you liked it maybe I could be encouraged to do it more.
