🐝👑 Researchers at #PennState discovered that worker #bumblebees control which #larvae become queens by feeding them juvenile hormones.

When workers received the hormone, they passed it into larval #food, producing heavier larvae that grew into queens. The finding shifts our understanding of #bee colonies from a strict hierarchy to a more decentralized system where caregivers shape the colony’s future.

#BeesNotBillionaires - Clothing for a wilder world.

Not-for-profit. For the planet.

"100% of profits go to #SavingBees, restoring #biodiversity, and protecting the wild places we love.

BEES ARE RAPIDLY DISSAPEARING

Native wild bees are in serious decline with 40% facing extinction and 25% no longer showing up on records worldwide. Many conservation efforts focus on honeybees which are not endangered — it's Bumblebees and Solitary Bees that need our help. Keeping honey bees does not save #Bumblebees and #SolitaryBees and is actually making this already serious problem worse.

81 BILLIONAIRES HAVE MORE WEALTH THAN 50% OF THE WORLD COMBINED

While bee numbers have declined and climate breakdown has become ever more obvious across the planet billionaires have continued to get richer and more numerous. 2024 saw 204 new billionaires and 2025 has seen their influence and power wielded like never before."

So bumblebee queens are bigger than workers and tend to have longer tongues.
But the research found that these longer tongues have relatively less hairs meaning less efficiency at capturing the liquid nectar!

The #OrangeBallTree is native to #Chile.
It's been cultivated here as a popular ornamental in pollinator gardens. This flowering tree had hundreds of #pollinators feeding on it. It is a beautiful flower tree! 🧡
It's used as a cultural #MedicinalPlant too. Infusion of their leaves is used topically for the treatment of wounds, burns & ulcers.

@laguiri Also, speaking of #pollinator awareness, are you following @thebeeguy ? I learn so much about #bumblebees from him!

Well rats, Two of the squash plants have succumbed to squash mildew. Luckily, two of the plants are doing well, and two are iffy -- and I have about 6 more ready to plant. Focused on the #BumblebeeNest today. I put together one [of two] but I'll finish digging the hole tomorrow.

I had some mouse pee-soaked cardboard that I added to the nesting material. The original hose I wanted to use seemed too small, but it was to spec, so maybe I'll use that one instead. Building the "nest" out of chicken wire was interesting. My hand is a bit sore from all the wire cutting.

Edit: I think I'll go with the smaller tubing. This seems like it would attract mice...

The hairs on bumblebee tongues are merely hundreds of micrometers long.
Many closely spaced hairs create a myriad of tiny gaps that hold nectar by surface tension - a microscopic sponge trapping nectar on the tongue.

Finally got photographic evidence of Bombus californicus / California Bumblebee feeding in the great camas, just before the flowers finished for the year. Yay!

I think this is a male, because it is small and shaggy instead of huge and velvety like the one I saw before, but I do NOT know what i am talking about

So big up to these pint-sized #bumblebees.

Short-lived and small but mighty!

And oh so vital.

Please pass this on.

#repost / #share for #bees!

Knowledge is power.
But true power is caring.
Or should be.

Thank you folks.

Together we impact for good.
