Happy Earth Day everyone!!!

"Do you know that...? - Old bees don't return to the hive in the evening? They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony. They do this sensing that the end is near. No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others. 🐝🐝🐝 - Bees have cold blood like all insects, yet at the colony level, they are a warm mega-organism. 🐝🐝🐝 - There are bees that bring pollen and bees that bring nectar, never will a pollen-collecting bee change its task to bring nectar and vice versa. 🐝🐝🐝 - Although dandelions are yellow, their pollen collected by bees turns orange in the mixing urn with nectar. 🐝🐝🐝 - The record for keeping a bee colony alive during winter was 356 days without them going out for cleansing flights. 🐝🐝🐝 - Bees can be useful to humans even after they have died, as they are used in the form of poultices to treat joint pain. 🐝🐝🐝 - Bees never sleep. Thank you, little bees!!! 🐝❤"

This is a huge swarm! Hope it moves lower, like “my height” lower. 🤞

Mike was braver with his video skills, maybe cause this one wasn’t so big 😅
