bees

[Gerianne]

I have a palm tree outside my apartment window.
There is a clump of yellow cluster vines that grow after some time.
(When the landscapers come around, they cut a lot off when they cut the branches.)
I've lived here a year and today was the first time I noticed that the bees were busy in that cluster.
They aren't only busy in flowers, I see.

It's good to see bees...nature's pollenators.  We can't live without these little creatures and I have heard they are also dying because of all the chemicals used on crops.  The world is becoming a sadder and sadder place when I read about what is happening on this planet.

i havent seen many bees this year..my husband did when he was weed eating and hit a yellow jackets nest...got stung 35 times...glad he wasnt allergic

I agree on the fact that i would be ok seeing the bees versus yellow jacket, wasp and etc.

We have quite a few bees around, of course we live in a farming community even though we are the small town, but fields all around. and lots of  other growing  plants.  In fact we drive 90 miles to buy our raw honey from a bee grower who has several hives around but he processing there. Love those bees.

   Good bees...or bad bees? I do not like killer bees!

I'm always happy when I see the bees as long as they aren't wasps.

It's good to see bees but not around here.  My son is deathly allergic to their stings.

I love bees. Too bad their dying, although maybe with them gone people will finally do something about climate change.

When bees are gone, people also will be gone... it will be too late.

I hate bees I am allergic to them and also one of dogs is.  He has beenbite every year for the last 4 years because he tries to catch them.  Sure enough he was at the vet last week for another sting.

I like bees. I have a lot of them in my garden and we coexist nicely when I'm out gardening.  I had one bang into my head but I assume he thought I was a lovely flower.

I had an oak tree cut down and the guy said bees attacked him and that surprised me because he ran into them about 35 feet up.  I've seen them in the ground but never up that high.

Bees not stupid, palm trees are healthy aromatic and good for the beehive, really.

My yard has been taken over by ground bees. I don't know where their nest is, but I wish they would go somewhere else.
