Worker bees are female but are not capable of reproducing. They do all the work in the hive, and they control most of what goes on inside. Their jobs include housekeeping, feeding the queen, drones and larvae, collecting the pollen and nectar, and making the wax. This little one is taking a breather.

Daisies are easy to grow and can fit in any type of garden – large or small. Their shallow flowers provide readily accessible nectar and pollen to bees. Came across this beautiful garden at the Tea House on Lake Barrine, Cairns.

The bright, large flower heads of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus and cultivars) present a nectar and pollen mother lode for their pollinators, which are bees of all kinds. ... The showy outer ray petals help attract the pollinators. Bees go from flower to flower within the disc, becoming covered with pollen.

Beekeepers have been using smoke to calm bees for generations. There have been no long-term side effects on the bees' health and smoke protects a colony from experiencing high levels of stress and aggression. Smokers are only harmful when beekeepers use them inappropriately.
There are many materials that may be used as fuel in a smoker, but the most common ones are unprocessed cotton fiber, wood, pine needles, burlap or wood pellets.
