Bee 🐝Knowledgeable: Worker bees live for 4-9 months during the winter season, but only 6 weeks during the busy summer months. Such precious cargo, so don't swat, step on, spray or kill. They have a very busy, important job so do your part and help preserve the bees!
This video warms my heart more than you will know. Last week our boy Poppy (Daisy and Lilly's mate) was killed and they were injured. I have had them locked up for the past week not knowing if they would survive from their wounds. The dark spots on their heads and neck is where the predator attacked them. They have not been eating or drinking hardly anything at all. I didn't know if when I went to the coop to check on them if this was the time that I would find that one or both had parished from there injuries. Today they looked much better and I thought I would let them out in a small pen to see if they would stretch there wings. They still have recovery both physically and mentally but after what I see I think they are going to be ok. RIP Poppy we know you died protecting your girls.
BEE 🐝 Knowledgable:. Honey bees' wings beat about 200 times per second. This is where the "buzz" you hear comes from.
