When you have a wax moth infestation and a local fire ant colony, put your wax moth frame on the fire ant hill. They're purge the moths for you to use again. #beeology#lifehack#winning
"There was some reluctance to sample brood, esp when the final product looked like a bee. Compared to walnuts, pork cracklings, Rice Crispies." #beeology
A honey bee will also cover her legs in nectar to help pollen stick to them. And ofc there are hairs on her legs that hold pollen like a basket. #beeology
Bees will initially take the long, direct route, but will search for a shorter route. Their subsequent dancing will do the same as their predecessor. #beeology
Bees communicate a single distance/effort and single direction in their dance. If the direct route isn't the shortest (over a building instead of around it), they'll dance the straight direction and the shorter distance. #beeology
Honey bees have at least 4 dances, considered language because they require translation. * food * nearby food * water * location to move the hive to #🐝#beeology
