Similar to beer and wine, honey and yeast is fermented to produce the drink, which varies in flavour and alchoholic content. 🐝

Did you know that all foraging honeybees are female? Talk about girl power. 💪🐝

Take a deeper look at how they do it:

Thanks to a smooth surface below their tibia, known as the ‘Corbicula”, the girls are able to pack and take pollen with them on the flight home. The bee will clean herself, moving pollen from her fuzzy body, down to her hind legs. She then mixes the pollen with nectar or pollen using her tongue, and presses the sticky ball against her legs, where a single hair secures the pollen ball. She can carry up to 35% of her body weight in pollen!🌼🦵

Want to be part of our 2024 Bee Ball in a creative way?

We need YOUR help in making our Bee Ball a big hit. We are calling all photographers, photographers-takers and pollinator lovers to submit their favourite photos from this year for a chance to win 2 tickets to our Bee Ball! 🐝🪩

All photos will be displayed in a gallery the night of ohr event to show our community's passion and care we have for our local environment 💛

Your name will be displayed alongside the photo, and will not be used for any other purpose. Photos do not have to be of bees (but bonus points if they are!) and can be anything from your pollinator garden, butterflies, native floral species, beekeeping, and non-honey producing bee species.

Submit your photos here: https://bit.ly/beeballphotos

On November 15th, we will be taking 11% off all of our honey in-store or online.

Bees go through changes too?🐝

🥚 One egg is laid by the Queen, per cell, which hatches into a larva after 4 days
🐛 The larva is capped with wax in its cell by worker bees
🐝 The larva forms a pupa around itself, and grows into a bee, which chews its way out to freedom!

🐝May you find some sweetness in your Monday!🐝

Did you know? Beekeepers often utilize a range of natural fuels like burlap, pine needles, wood pellets, twigs, or cardboard to create smoke. This smoke serves the purpose of soothing the bees, so it is important to avoid using synthetic materials or bleached paper, as these can potentially agitate the bees. We would never harm our bees! ❤️ 🐝

Sharing is caring ❤️ 🐝

This is super cool! #Repost @worldmuseum_ ・・・ Take a behind the scenes look at our pioneering Bees exhibition in this exclusive video and discover how visitors will be transported to the centre of the bee experience.
