fotografr Posted September 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) These Purple Asters in our back garden had more honey bees on them than I've seen for years. Maybe they are starting to come back after the colony collapses. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted September 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2014 Brent, A lovely shot with the vivid colors, sharpness and lighting. Let's hope the honeybees are on the rebound. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted September 30, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 30, 2014 Wonderful colours and light. I can't help but think that this is the very same bee that starred in your unforgettable bike path shot, I hope you're paying him a modelling fee!

stuny Posted September 30, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2014 A lovely shot. Climate change has many effects, including wiping out many bees. Bees have mites which tend to die in the cold. As the winters become milder more mites survive and overtax their host bees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think that this is the very same bee that starred in your unforgettable bike path shot, I hope you're paying him a modelling fee! I'm giving him all the honey he can eat. No wonder he keeps following me around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bees have mites which tend to die in the cold. As the winters become milder more mites survive and overtax their host bees. That's very depressing. We rely on honeybees for pollination of so many foods. I've also read theories that their collapse might be related to chemical insecticides that have been bioengineered into crops grown on mega farms. Either way, if we lose them, we are going to be in a world of hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
