Video of my honey bees
The little hitch hiker must have been tired Hayley.
ReplyDeleteOMG-I was reading up on Bumbles and Honeys and info is amazing.
Bumbles will often take over an abandoned mouse nest, and coincidentally I found a nest last week in new shed with a mouse scurrying from it. It is a work of art, put together with bits and pieces of coverings I put on items stored there. Hopefully will be abandoned soon. I only realized last fall the mice make a round nest when discovering one in Christmas wreaths stored in shed as I took wreaths out.(Now in plastic wreath holders)
As for the honey bees-the drone mates on the wing and dies immediately afterwards-Wassup with that?:)
