Did you know, those little bees you see in the evening sitting on flowers are old bees.

Old & sick bees don't return to the hive at the end of their day.

They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony.

They do this sensing that the end is near.

No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others.

So, next time you see an old little bee sat upon a flower as the night closes in...
..thank the little bee for her life long service.

🐝It's World Bee Day! Did you know that there are over 4,000 native bees in the USA? Florida alone is home to some 315 native bees.

Native bees are incredibly important for functional ecosystems. Native bees are better pollinators than honeybees and they often provide niche pollination that provides us humans with the flowers and foods we so enjoy.

Did you know that there is a blueberry bee? The Southeastern blueberry bee (Habropoda laboriosa) is active from February through April; they are perfectly adapted to pollinate native and commercial blueberry crops. Blueberry pollen is heavy, sticky, and hidden away inside long, tubular flowers. Blueberry bees attach themselves to the flowers and vibrate their flight muscles to shake the pollen loose. The pollen attaches to their hairy bodies and is then redistributed to other flowers.

Support native bees - and other pollinators - by planting native, doing less clean-up maintenance, mowing less often, and avoiding pesticides/herbicides.
