Is my bum too big for this flower?
When asking the question of how much honey a group of honeybees will produce, just a fraction of a teaspoon. "A group of about 12 bees in their lifetime will produce a teaspoon of honey between them." Treasure each spoonful......
The above is the white-tailed bumblebee of course, which does not produce honey for humans but bumbles around our flowers, they just love foxgloves.
Lemon Balm; Pliny's words; It is profiterablie planted in gardens about places where bees are kept, because they are delighted with this herbe above all others.. for when they are straied away they do finde their way home again by it..
And why plant the pulmonaria plant, (lungwort plant)? it is for the pulmonaria bee.

I shall concentrate on the bees and plants because the news is so horrendous at the moment. How can Trump renege on an agreement which will probably result in continuous war elsewhere. Because he is an 'expletive deleted' self seeking imbecile. I only hope we do not follow America into war on behalf of the Israelis....

Good ;)
DeleteHe will probably go down in history as the most destructive president ever - if the world survives him.
ReplyDeleteI should not even think about him but all those people in refugee camps, lives destroyed by all the war to date. Some say it is a clever ploy to bring the Iranians to heel. Bees it is.
DeleteBees are hopeful industrious reward sharing animals, are they not. The majority of patriots of the U.S. will vote in the coming elections and we will return to a more sane country. I have hope for that.
ReplyDeleteI apologise for even straying into this territory Tabor, but his arrogance is unbearable. The buzz of the bees in the garden are reassuring factors in life.
DeleteJust an added thought, we are just as hypocritical in this country, we make the weapons of war and then stand by when they are used...
DeleteI live in the US and Trump is an embarrassment and a danger. To the world, unfortunately. I hope we vote in enough Democrats to be able to put a stop to his activities. He is ignorant, and doesn't know what he is doing.
DeleteAnd I loved reading about the bees!
There are so many bees in the garden at the moment looking for a place to live and in the house so that windows have to be opened. Trump as a president is truly weird but time moves on and he will get voted out eventually.
