A fantastic introduction to the over 4000 different kinds of North American bees. Honeybees are introduced from abroad!

I mentioned this book in a story about bee houses I was interviewed about:

My favorite book of 2018. Then again, I love bees!

TheBogwitch A friend of mine is a biologist/professor doing a bees of the plains study. I never knew there were so many kinds of bees! 6y

Ceratina @TheBogwitch I just saw you commented on this! How did I not notice? So sorry! Trying to figure this place out. I like Litsy and love just looking around at what people are sharing about books. Thanks for recommending the site! 6y

TheBogwitch @Ceratina we are in the same boat. I‘m kind of lost, but I do enjoy Litsy. 6y

Freespirit My husband and I have an organic Macadamia farm and we now have bees. I made the first batch of honey recently to give as Christmas gifts. It really is amazing how they work together to make honey. I love watching them at work! Glad you like bees too😊 6y

Ceratina Oh, that is so cool! Macadamias and honey bees!! It‘s nice to meet you and I look forward to sharing more with you on Litsy. 😊 6y

Bumblebees: Behaviour, Ecology, and Conservation | Dave Goulson

My 2 bumblebees at their music class. Trying to focus on the positives as this week is determined to drag me under. I was assaulted while walking into town today. A man thought it acceptable to hit me on the shoulder as he walked passed. It's all been passed on to the police as I had a witness. Just waiting for a call back.
Just want this week done.

readingjedi What?!? That's outrageous! Hope the weekend brings you better things. 6y

Cathythoughts Oh I‘m sorry that happened... sending hugs & take care. 6y

laurieluna @readingjedi Yeah. When we confronted him he blamed mental health issues. Not an excuse to hit people. It triggered me so bad I sat and cried at my 1 year olds toddler group. @Cathythoughts thank you. I'm just about done with October now! 6y

CouronneDhiver 🙁 I‘m so sorry... that‘s really, really crappy. 6y

laurieluna @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @CouronneDhiver thank you. It was such a massive shock. My shoulder is starting to really hurt. He was a big man too. I keep thinking what if I'd been a kid or an old person? He would have knocked me down. 6y

laurieluna @Balibee146 That's horrible! I just don't understand why people think it is acceptable to do that to others. We're ok. Just trying to make the most of the rest of the day now. Xx 6y

laurieluna @TrishB There's been some amazing moments this year but there's also been some terrible ones. It seems the terrible ones are gaining momentum at the moment though. Hope you're feeling better. Sending hugs. X 6y

DivineDiana I am sorry that you had that experience. It sounds as though your reporting of the incident is helping this person who has mental health problems. ❤️ (edited) 6y

laurieluna @DivineDiana Yeah, thats what I wanted. I initially left my name and number at the primary care centre where he was heading so that his mental health worker could contact me but he didn't, thats why I reported it an the police stepped in to get him the help he needs. 6y

DivineDiana 👏🏻👍🏻❤️ 6y

@Jess7

Today‘s Prompt: Stripes

How about these stripes?

Jess7 Was this book good or creepy ? 7y

SilversReviews @Jess7 I didn‘t read the book...I just chose a title with bumble bees in it. Sorry. 7y

Jess7 Oh gotcha! @SilversReviews - a lot of people are into raising bumble bees these days. I could never do it. Too afraid of getting stung. Makes me think of a book I recent read where one of the main characters gets stung on her eye ball when her husband raises bees as a hobby!

Morte | Robert Repino

Chapter two amounts to a history lesson. I'm actually a little baffled, because what is technically an info dump on how the ants took over the world held my attention. I'm gonna puzzle for some time over how Robert wrote this so well, making ant queen Hymenoptera more horrifying than the Xenomorph queen from Aliens. #Morte #alien #queen #Hymenoptera #xenomorph #findSheba #fantasy #WarWithNoName #RobertRepino #SciFi #GetAwayFromHerYouBitch
