Iduna Posted May 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) in our Botanical Garden there are beehives as a project of environment protection. As the bee master told me this type of bees is very relaxed and not at all agressive. They are concentrated on their work and are not feeling disturbed. so he can work there without any extra protection. Apart from a smoke pipe in case of behaviour control he does not need anything else. These bees are not as productive as those more agreesive type of bee. But with all those visistors moving through the park he selected this type of bee. He could tell many details of bee life. When I took the picture he did not notice. It was through the window and it was a rainy day, so the bees stayed inside. It was a dark hut and I was really glad to have a fast lens.

stuny Posted May 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2014 Lovely shot and story. I don't know about elsewhere, but in North America the bee populations are shrinking significantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted May 17, 2014 yes, Stuart, I am very much afraid you are right. When the bees are dying mankind will be dying because our crop and plants won't have their pollen being distributed. I read somewhere that there is a project where mosquitos can do this job. In China machines are doing this job. It is a serious subject. Our agriculture is corrupted by monoculture and intoxicated genemanipulated crop. In a huge rapeseed fiels you won't discover a single insect although yellow is a significant color for insects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andkeen Posted May 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2014 A great picture and narrative, Iduna. Our bee friends need all the help they can get. What you say about rapeseed fields is absolutely right. Here it is the same. It is so sad to see the farmers spraying thie fields with their noxious stuff, and so remarkable that even on the edges of where they spray plant and insect ilfe is more abundant.

pauledell Posted May 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 17, 2014 Iduna, A fine shot and I agree with your comments. It seems like more meaningful research on the bee situation needs to be a high priority item. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted May 17, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andrew, thanks a lot for your comment, Mankind is capable of learning but I am afraid that it is always taking a long time before a change of mind settles in. Paul, yes, thanks for your thoughts and feedback. We need to be aware of our true values. Hank, many thanks for your commitment and nice support.
