  1. Beta testing an indoor mosquito trap. I usually make these with plastic soda bottles but eyed a glass lamp base at the hardware store and thought I'd give it a try. Baited with a cheesecloth-covered jar of honey, rose water, and a few drops of orange liquor. And a cheesecloth-covered chunk of dark chocolate from Venezuela. It targets mosquitoes that are looking for a nectar meal. Useful for trapping annoying mosquitoes that somehow got inside. #nectar #mosquitoes

    Bees are a #vegan evolution of wasps - feeding on #nectar and #pollen collected from #flowers rather than on prey.

  4. @ConversationUK "Pesticide & herbicide use is commonplace & these #chemicals affect the fitness of #bees, causing them to die off. However, not only do these chemicals affect the bees directly, they can also remove important #plants that they rely on for #food causing them to starve. #Dandelions for example, are a massively important #nectar source for bees, but also a plant commonly controlled with herbicides. So don’t weed your #garden & pull them out."

    #Florida's ghost #orchid is pale, night-blooming, and belongs to the same #angraecoid group as Darwin's orchid. This #video follows researchers climbing into the canopy to get photos of this elusive #flower.

  11. Pesquisadores da Universidade da Califórnia, Berkeley, descobriram etanol em néctar de flores, sugerindo que beija-flores e abelhas ingerem pequenas quantidades de álcool. A pesquisa, a primeira em grande escala sobre o tema, analisou 29 espécies e encontrou etanol em 26 delas.

  19. “Leicestershire Police forced to publish Palantir contract – with heavy redactions”

    “Leicestershire Police signed its contract with Palantir back in October 2024, for an eye-watering £818,750. It was the first UK police force to sign a deal with the US-based firm. The East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), an organised crime and counter-terrorism grouping, also had a hand in the agreement”

  22. In this case preference is to move her to a nearby source of #nectar - a #flower!
    If no flowers are nearby she can be offered a 50/50 mix of white sugar and water.
    NEVER offer her honey as although it would seem to be the obvious action honey can contain pathogens that may…

  23. Today's "fun" is that someone made two purchases in Uxbridge Sainsburys using my #Nectar card. First of 7000 points and then 8500 leaving my balance at *minus* 6634.

    There seems to be two morals to this tale:

    1. balances aren't updated in real time so it's possible to "overdraw"

    2. the only validation on a purchase is the QR code of your card number. So a perp can make one and try it and repeat until they find one that works.

  24. How does plant based meat compare in taste with regular meat. NECTAR, a nonprofit initiative working to accelerate the alternative protein transition, conducts an annual "Taste of the Industry" sensory analysis of plant-based meats within the US. You can find the one page summary here.

    Keeping with the male bumblebee theme:
    Male #bumblebees do not forage for #pollen and #nectar for the colony but rather forage exclusively for nectar for themselves to maintain energy for mating flights and mating!
