Option 2: Queens lay UNFERTILISED eggs late in the nest cycle which develop into MALE #bees with chromosomes from the queen only. Males have no father.
Laying male eggs signals the start of the end for the nest!

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!

…sounds like four again. (We keep our distance so as never to disturb).
This is a stunning success story for these wonderful red-listed creatures and a ringing endorsement of what we do here - even if we do say so ourselves!
Good for #bees is good for Barn Owls too.

Meet Billy Elliot!
The first of this year’s Barn Owl fledglings to venture out of the nest box here on World Bee Sanctuary.
Barn Owls have been here since we came along - we’ve always just taken their presence for granted and let them get on with it but we installed a nest box in the hay-shed for the first time three years ago. That first year saw four young successfully fledged. Last year five. This year it…

Isn’t it uncomfortable?
Is there nothing we won’t bastardise, commercialise & degrade?
We have brought #bees/#nature to the brink. Natural systems we depend upon to exist. Unnatural systems such as this compound the damage.
Please #repost. Share.
For bees.
So people know.
Likes are great but reposts amplify this.
Thanks folks.
