  1. [Science News] A new study shows that #bumblebees have much higher levels of heavy #metal #contamination than #honeybees. Their underground habitat, feeding habits, and smaller foraging range are certainly the cause. The neurological consequences (#disorientation, #mortality) of the #toxicity of these heavy metals still need to be assessed... scitechdaily.com/hidden-toxic-

  10. Looked in the laying worker hive while I was walking by. Maybe less bees than when I moved it from the nuc a week ago.

  15. The laying worker hive was placed on top with a double-screened divider between the hives. There might be one frame of bees in that hive and all the field bees will likely return and be welcome in the new colony. This is just to preserve the stores they have collected and send a few of the drones out to spread their love.

    No drama during the move, no bees in the face, no bees on my arms, no bees up my shorts. Nice bees.

  20. 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."
