Women Work to Save #NativeBees of #Mexico

A happy story about #bees, #BeeConservation, and empowering women in Mexico.

Mar 5, 2014

Excerpt: "Spaniards introduced European #honeybees to Central America around 1620, and they are now well established. European honey bees (and their Africanized form) do compete with gentle #NativeBee species for pollen and nectar on flowers. #MeliponaBeecheii is a #ForestBee, so if they could find flowering trees and shrubs, competition with honey bees might not be a problem. Alas, #Yucatan is heavily logged.

"The Yucatan peninsula sits right in the path of a lot of big storms; quite a few hurricanes, floods, and droughts have caused beekeepers to lose all or most of their hives. Native stingless bees are quite sensitive to #pesticides, so that isn't helping either."

A bit of bee video from a couple of days ago. They're finding some bright orange/yellow pollen and probably still working the goldenrod.

A short bee video after lots of beekeeping things today. Not a lot of pollen but it only got up to 53F/12C today and no sun until late afternoon.

Estamos moi contentos pola difusion que está a ter o noso artigo sobre a modernización das colmeas. En poucos días superou as 16.000 lecturas en @theconversationes @raposavermella #apicultura #divulgacion #honeybees #beekeeping #hives #abellas #apicultura https://theconversation.com/asi-se-han-modernizado-las-colmenas-empleadas-en-apicultura-durante-los-ultimos-siglos-249295

Just when I think I'm going to get something done I see a good video making opportunity. 4 seconds of 240fps bees slowed down.

Bees in the bird feeder. They're probably collecting cracked corn dust which isn't great.

Estes días estivemos aprendendo e compartindo coñecemento sobre patrimonio apícola cereiro e a relación entre montes veciñais e apicultura. Concretamente no XII Congreso Nacional de Apicultura e na Feira Apícola Meliza que tiveron lugar en Zamora #historiaeconomica #blanqueodecera #ceradeabella #lagaresdecera #historiarural #montesveciñais #alvarizas #patrimonioindustrial #apicultura #abellas #beekeeping #honeybees

The Maximilian sunflowers are exploding at Troon Vineyard, and the honey bees love it! You can hear the buzzing of thousands of happy bees! #honeybees #sunflower #biodynamicwine #biodynamic #biodynamicfarming #regenerativeagriculture

The bees late this afternoon on a mostly overcast day with a few drops of rain. Lots of big drones in the two most active hives and a steady amount of pollen coming in.
