This washing machine had been repurposed and was being used as a compost bin… until bees decided to move in and build a hive there!

Bees had been living in this toilet for years and it was time for them to get a new home! #honeypot

The queen bee is not the leader of the hive and she doesn’t rule over the other bees. It’s the female worker #bees who make the decisions…and they do so collectively as a group!

Easter bee eggs! Here’s something you’ve never seen before unless you’ve been inside of a beehive... bee eggs! Those things that look like tiny grains of rice in the honeycomb cells are actually little bee eggs. A strong queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day! #eastereggs

Happy birthday, Dr. #JaneGoodall ! This is a photo of me as a kid playing dress up as Jane. I soon moved on from observing stuffed animals to bugs, & I wouldn’t be where I am today without having Jane to look up to. Thank you for being my childhood & lifelong hero @JaneGoodallInst

This is heartbreaking. Please plant native flowers, bushes and trees that will provide food for the pollinators of our planet.

North America’s monarch butterfly has been classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world’s most comprehensive scientific authority on the status of species. The decision follows decades of falling populations.

@GreenInkBrigade Yes, I happened to have a queen on me that day. It's busy bee season, I did this removal in the morning, and I had a full day of beework ahead of me. That queen was going to be used later on to split a healthy colony in order to start another.

@thepwt821 I had her shipped to me in the mail and was taking her and another queen to colonies that I was going to split later that day. If you take bees and resources from one hive, and give them a new queen, you can create another bee colony.
