Bee alone

When Twitter is considered a form of communication and limits you to 140 characters [about 100 more than most people need to talk absolute crap] and Vine videos only last for 6 seconds, the day will come when books are no more than one page, records last 10 seconds and television programmes drag on for a whole 2 minutes.
After all we all lead such busy, busy lives.

Therefore to expect someone to watch a video that lasts seventeen minutes is probably a bit of a stretch. However I would strongly recommend you spend 17 minutes of your time to watch this video on solitary bees,
At markets I am often asked about bees and how they are struggling. In my opinion managed honey bees are not really at risk, its the solitary bees people need to worry about, These are probably what people see in their garden and think they are honey bees, are far more important for pollination than honey bees and are far better at it as well.
Their big mistake is not to make honey for human consumption, if they did I expect people would be far more interested in them.

 

I am about to buy a solitary bee observation hive and will hopefully next year will bring it along to markets as well as the honey bee observation hive.
