All last summer there were no bees, and I had to polinate everything by hand.
The closest thing to a bee in the last year I've seen, was a dead one at my mum's house 10 minutes drive away from my house.
No bees.
They are all dying out everywhere on the planet.
Colony collapse disorder I think it's called.
But I saw one, alive and kicking in my backyard today.
After chasing it around for half an hour as it frantically tried to escape my shade cloth I finally got a pic of it.
Thanks rapid fire camera maker.
Tis a poor pic, but it does prove a bee still lives.
120 Things in 20 years - Entomology - Yay BEE!
It's my intention to gain a new ability every 2 months for the next 20 years. I'd enjoy some company, some help, and some constructive criticism.
Things so far...
