ReDATA, University of Arizona<p>🐝🌼 Did you know pesticides can change how and what bees forage, which can affect pollination? A study by Megan Elizabeth Deeter, Vanessa Corby-Harris, Lucy A. Snyder &amp; Charlotte A. D. Meador shows that some pesticides cause bees to lose fat faster, pushing them to collect fattier pollen to make up for it.

Colin Purrington<p>Found a "types of bees" poster at Goodwill yesterday. I'm guessing the artist wasn't really into the task because the honey bee makes three appearances. Some appear to missing their second pair of wings. And venation of the red-tailed bumblebee is a complete mess. I decided not to buy. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>honeybees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/goodwill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goodwill</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>illustration</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/thriftstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriftstore</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Are there any flowers that Western honey bees avoid? My sister just got several hives and she is worried about the native bee population having nothing left to eat. I'd love to give her a list of plants to seek out for her property. In Central Oregon, so ideally drought-tolerant, too.

Tom<p>The bees have mostly yellow pollen, and some bright orange and a mix of dirty colors but not a lot of that. The first drone bee spotted coming out of the West hive. A drone and a very light colored bee at the Center hive which has more darker bees. It really stands out.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HoneyBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoneyBees</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apiary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeYard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeeYard</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeHives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHives</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/April10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>April10</span></a></p>
Sarah Heckles 🧅Swarm season! 💛 My favorite time of the year. <br> <br> First of 2025, a beautiful 10-20,000 honeybee swarm cluster on my friend’s cherry tree. <br> <br> I rigged this slick bucket on a swiveling extending pole a year ago which works so well, and is an upgrade to previous season’s bucket, duct tape on bamboo pole. <br> <br> But, major equipment <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fail</a> yesterday. After swarm of honeybees was in bucket, bucket disengaged from pole. Result? A cascading waterfall of bees. 🙈<br> <br> Plan B. Up close and personal via ladder with bucket in hands. Went up three times to get all of them!<br> <br> Such a great day. First time I was close enough to my wee apiary that I could walk the box o’ <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> there (verses driving them).<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/portland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/portlandia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portlandia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/beekeeping?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swarm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swarm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/honeybeeswarm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybeeswarm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/honeybees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybees</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hobby?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hobby</a>
