💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐝🥚 Worker #bees normally intercept #pesticides entering a hive, shielding the queen. #UCDavis researchers showed that when chronic exposure overwhelms this filtration, queens offload the #chemical burden into their #eggs, contaminating the next generation and possibly contributing to delayed colony collapse.

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."
