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."

The bait hive is busy this afternoon. Seems like a little fighting going on so must not be from the same hive. Could be some robbing but there's a lot of coming and going too. There was still some honey in some of the old comb put in here.

The captured bees seem to be doing bee things as it warms up. I peaked in the top deep around 9 am and there were no bees up in there so I took it off and there was no drama. It looked like they were clustered up into 3-4 frames but it's just waxed foundation so I guess there's lots of room in that space.

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.

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.

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.
