BEES and TREES | Female bee emerges | Part 11 | Video 10 | 29th June 2024 This is getting a bit complicated we know, but for those that are following our series of posts, in this one we see after video 9, the full emergence of the female bee. Thanks as ever to Lisa for some footage to share and I'll do my best to explain exactly what's happening in this post. Creating the environment for the bees:- Video 1; On 29th March they installed the apiary, some thing we attached in the post of that time. Video 2; was one with some sad news about bee hive 1 on 25th April. Video 3; 9th May we showed a solution to save our first hive which was in danger of being lost as there wasn't a queen bee. So with the aid of newspaper, we were attempting a merge of hive 1 with hive 2. Video 4; 16th May where we were able to see success in the merging of the hives. Video 5; also 16th May - our slow motion special which focussed on the entrance to the hive Video 6; 11 frames for the bees with a dummy board, Video 7; the workers made it look amazing, stunning in fact, but the naughty workers moved the play area! Video 8; we saw something amazing, the queen in amongst many other bees. Video 9; in the middle of the screen we see a young female emerging. And so to video 10; her 15 minute journey after de-capping is visible, she's emerged with what look like tiny little eyes, they're no smaller than her sisters but are covered in some fluff. That will gradually deplete. She is getting a clean up from her sisters, some attention, effectively a pamper session, then on to find some food, and to begin life as a female worker bee.

It sounded so simple at first…. Put up a bird feeder and attract lots of lovely wild birds to the garden. 🕊️ Not so simple. Stage 1️⃣ We hung two ceramic bird feeders from our tree but it only attracted flocks of starlings. Stage 2️⃣ We installed another bird feeder with seeds to attract songbirds. One or two arrived but we were still overrun by starlings. Pretty though they are, we were looking for a bit more diversity. Stage 3️⃣ Next up went a fat ball cage to attract blue tits. Some started to arrive. Progress. Stage 4️⃣ A single blackbird started turning up. They're ground feeders and he was reduced to pecking at the crumbs dropped from the tree. We felt sorry for him so we put down a ground feeding table. This was successful as he started to visit every morning. Stage 5️⃣ Then we saw the rat….happily nibbling away at the table food. Uh Oh, this is a problem. A humane way to stop rodents coming round is to cut off their food source so we moved the table into the tree. Sorry blackbird. Pointless though, because rats can climb trees as nimbly as squirrels. Stage 6️⃣ We erected a metal pole bird feeding station well away from the tree and watched in grudging admiration as our rat (as we now think of him) scooted up the pole like….well, a rat up a drainpipe! Stage 7️⃣ Is yet to be implemented. Ideas we’re considering include smearing Vaseline on the pole, mixing chilli flakes into the bird food (which birds can’t taste and it would make it too spicy for the rats), or something called a squirrel baffle which fixes to the pole to stop them climbing up. Any humane rat discouraging ideas? 💡 Click on and FOLLOW MY HASHTAG #HospitalityandLeisurePhotographer for regular posts. #MarketingDigital #HospitalityIndustry #Hospitality

No single honeybee can live on its own for very long. While the collective hive could live forever, the individual bees are mortal, and they depend on each other to survive. https://bit.ly/3V7w1cI #foxhoundbeeco #beekeeping #beekeepingtips
