This is a good beekeeping book. I learned about an AI I actually like! A man named A.I. Root popularized Langstroth hives, built standardized gear, and taught generations how to care for bees. 🐝 #beekeeping #pollinators #feedthebees #bees

6 little pots filled with a combo of potting mix and compost holding 5 elderberry cuttings each. I’ll tuck these in the fridge till the deep freeze breaks and the ground thaws a bit.
30 elderberry cuttings 🌱 ready for the beer fridge (since it’s too cold to keep them outside till the ground thaws). “Marge” is a fast growing American/European hybrid and “Scotia” will grow to 12’ tall with sweet large fruits. #ElderberryCuttings #PlantPropagation #FeedTheBees
Namens iedereen van de Bijenstichting: fijne dagen!

Bee on orange flower drinking sugar water from a Q-tip.
Probably not much help this late in the year, but this pretty little bee 🐝 did accept my sugar water offering.

This time of year it’s best to avoid the back path to the studio, which I call “Allium Alley,” because the September alliums are in bloom and they take up so much of the pathway.
Springtime is the giant globe allium season. Not so bushy. Path is a wip…

A bumblebee is perched on top of the opening bud of a bachelor's button, trying to access its nectar. The bee is about the same size as the bud
Does this make my bud look small?

💜 this - something I believe could easily be implemented everywhere if we had the inclination to do so.
Altho I do wonder abt the impacts of pesticide / herbicide spray drifting onto the flowers as it has widespread use in 🇨🇦 agriculture #OneEarth #FeedTheBees #Pollinators
Isn’t she gorgeous!! So happy in the morning sunshine. She fought hard to be here, all by her little self. I love her. 🧑🌾
She stays and she gets lady bugs. 🐞
Grow things!!!

Today’s joyful offering in resistance to the daily assholery we are subjected to.
The back path to the studio where big fat bumblebees are enjoying life in the moment 🐝🌺☀️🌞.

A bumblebee works over a bright pink bee balm flower.
After I put in our hives, I noticed a huge difference in the amount of fruit on our apple and pear trees. If you want to help the bees, get a hive for your yard. Beekeeping clubs will help you get started or may even have members looking for a place to put a hive

You can do a lot with small spaces to help our natural world rebound & thrive!
Remember ~ Bees & butterflies need water too so please make it safe for them to drink by adding stones & things for them to perch on.....lest they drown..

This is not a drill there were bee sightings today!! One did some zippy flybys around my head I'm assuming to say "thanks for the flowers big head". It's really the UV coating on my glasses that makes them get so close to my face & I just stand still while they do it. ☺️😅 #patiogarden #feedthebees
Grow something, anything, that produces flowers! #feedthebees

Well "No Mow May" has become "No Mow April" with the first Dandelions coming through my lawn.
I'm feeding the Bees of course. But I'm sure you know that there's a thin line between "Feeding the Bees" and "Can't be fecking bothered mowing yet!"
