coming to terms with pollenators

While Laurel napped Alice and I sat in the yard on a blanket enjoying the sun. My trees are starting to bloom, along with lots of little weed type flowers and spring bulbs. We saw many pollinators out. .. a honey bee, a big bumble bee, and a few beautiful rust colored butterflies. The butterflies dont bother me, of course.. but the bees (and wasps! that I found in the shed) DO bother me. Now dont ...

Rants Galore

... endangered if they aren't currently. Scientists aren't sure why bees are dying in such large numbers but the population is rapidly decreasing. This is a problem because bees are the most common pollinators and without pollination plants can die out. Farmers are paying for beekeepers to bring their hives to the farms to pollinate the crops and despite this the number of bees is dwindling. We ...

Adventures in Soda Fountains and on the Roof

... I love about Jamie: when he got home, set to kill the insects, I said, "You know, these bald faced hornets are normally pretty docile. They're only worked up today because we agitated their nest. And they are pollinators, and in a few more weeks the frost is going to kill them off. The nest won't be re-used. Maybe we should just let them calm down and then let them be?" And Jamie, who had been ...

beezy bees

... of Queen Anne's lace on my daily dog walks, and I've noticed that it's being pollinated by ants and flies. I didn't know that, and it makes me wonder what other pollinators plants have besides just bees. Could any of them end up taking some of the slack left by colony collapse? (link vector is lupabitch as usual, but thanks also to moonvoice and talheres for finding ...

More Gardening

... that may not have been hardened off quite to one's satisfaction (like, oh I dunno, those tomatoes...). Third, they're an awesome pest barrier for things that don't need outside pollinators, like cabbages & broccoli. Last year, my brassicas got murdered by cabbage worms--never again I say! The blankets also allow a hefty amount of light through, and they actually help the soil preserve ...

DID YOU KNOW that this...a KEYSTONE SPECIES to saving and rebuilding the rainforest? DID YOU KNOW that fruit bats are amazing pollinators because they poop while flying and because they eat up to their weight in one day? ...

The Beginning

... native plants is highly important when planning a garden, as not only will they naturally thrive with minimal care, they won’t disturb other plants and wildlife. In addition, native plants attract pollinators to spread the seeds, propagating growth on numerous levels. Native plants clean the air, act as natural erosion control, and contribute to the general health of our ecosystem. Only 62% ...

Art Inst again

... delicious :) but I get just as much satisfaction (maybe more) watching the jet black bees (Xylocopa sp.) bathing themselves in squash blossom pollen every morning. I determined that the pollinators for the tomatillos are polyester bees -- big haridos, leisure suits and spontaneous dance numbers, constantly!! It's like classic American Bandstand out there!!! But seriously, they're weird little ...

Fic: Coherence, NC-17 Beckett/Dex by inkscribe

... in an artificial biome to help provide clean, breathable air for the city when it travelled through space. The life of the small forest sang loud in Ronon's sensitive ears, tiny pollinators and compostors going about their business undisturbed as they had for millennia while the city slept. Generations born and died, generations building and tearing down the beauty that surrounded them. More ...

It does seem that it's possible that native pollinators may be more responsible for some fruit pollination in small farms, ...
