I think you would also get a round rash, but lime disease isn’t that common this side of the Atlantic.

saw people posting photos of them wearing their traditional fits, so thought I’d drop some desi girl glam in there. what I’m wearing here is a modern take on a lehenga choli (skirt + blouse combo) 💕

https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef700 One of the first that popped up on Google. They’re called observation hives. I’ll drop you a dm later 🙌🐝

I wonder if there’s any appetite for more research into Honey Bee waggle dances and the kind of work you’re can do by having a perspex hive, and studying the bee interactions and pollen being brought back to the hive?

@newtp don’t thank me for the tip. It’s a minor thank you for the work you’re doing in bee populations 🐝

There are several butterflies and moths which rely on it and caterpillars feed on it….. but they’re known for helping the insect and small mammals population which is in decline. 🦋

I think this something I’ve heard, and thought myself when studying planetary science. There’s levels to it as well, and much like the nature camera people who can end up with mental health issues after watching an animal for weeks then watching it die and not being able to help. Sometimes the best thing to do for your own well being is to move across the field.

7. Thanks for reading!!! ALSO, killing the bees literally tore me apart😭😭😭 I thought I was capable of doing so because a scientific basis would describe this as a huge help to bees while killing a tiny number of their population (<50-100 bees/season), BUT it hurt me inside to do so.

6. In conclusion, we now determined the best native flowering plants to introduce into gardens in urban environments locally!! We still need to research more on the bees’ distribution in spots off of campus and between preserves.

5. Native bees were collected from 17 native host plant species and 10 non-native host. Top 3 were Escholzia californica, Allium unifolium, and Diplacus aurantiacus. Full graph is at the bottom middle.

4. We found the 3 most adbundant bee genera were Xylocopa bees (carpenter bees) at 54.4% of the captures, Halictus bees (sweat bees) at 16.2%, and Ceratina bees (small carpneter bees) at 8.8%. Full graph top middle.

3. My teammates and I caught the bees at 8 sites on campus, killed them (to examine them, more on that later), used iNaturalist to survey the floral hosts and survey data, froze them, and then later pinned and identified them.
