Seasons, seasons of year or years without age

  • The seasons condition the life cycle of the bee. Life time, work and seasonal rest.

The hive starts to work with spring warming: the heat of the sun causes the beginning of the flowers, which awaken the hive and the foods of the time. Spring is the exciting bee season, ending the cold of winter and giving rise to nature. Flowers and trees dressed in colours that, like us, leave aside the dark winter clothes.

Then it comes to summer, a hot season and a summer before... Heat and sun stop blooms, sleeping spring green pastures, as our white skin usually reddens. The flowers stop pouring the nectar, causing drought for the bees, the bee starts to run out of food and detects lack of water.

Bees waited for the fall to spend the summer and many of us waiting for the grasses and the environment to cool down. In spring the flowers, full of color, were already formed to become fruits.

Waiting for fall, for fall, and not for rain, or at the end of summer. The bees didn't know where to feed, because there was no fruitful bloom that had to be at the time. We were also involved, we didn't know how to adapt to the time. Others, on the other hand, did not end up enjoying summer.

By the fall the first rains needed for the cycle of nature to continue, prune the fruits on the ground, root the seeds and awaken the autumn flowers. The bees in the fall flower, when they had to prepare for the winter, they didn't have time to prepare, they were still in an unfinished summer.

Boom! It was high time the winters appeared. Bees sleep, rest, survive through year-round work.

The cold of winter is over, it has tempered and the flowers are underway. New summer, like the old, dry! Only Acacia has thanked.

We do not know from now on. At the moment we jump over the two stations and it seems that we are in the middle of summer. The lack of rainfall will lead to a further drying of the banks.

This is no coincidence, we are guilty of something!

Reuse, restore, repair, transform… Perhaps because we live with more than we need…

Cleaning
The ability to clean is a trend that bees have from birth to death. As soon as he is born, he begins to clean the honeycomb, to remove the pieces of wax that he has broken from the hive.

In the same place...
I was May 4th, Saturday. It wasn't a particularly warm atmosphere, but it was at least cold. Suddenly, a big hum, not heard long ago. Here's a lot of bees on the door of the house, thousands of bees flying, on a sleek synchronized flight, in a dunbot. Erlesemea.

Who's in command in bees?
As in a hive there is only one queen and is the mother of all, it is said that she is the authority, but it is not entirely correct. Queen is very important, but the most important decisions are made by worker bees.

Labour divisions
Unlike humans, the three components of the hive have their functions clear from birth.

Hives over here
A special phenomenon is that of bees, a natural process that guarantees the survival of bees. The temperate climate causes exuberant blooms and the prosperity of the blooms causes the "emancipation" of the bees.

Can anyone with sheep be a pastor? Or just a sheep fan? I don't know where I've stood, I want to be a beekeeper and maybe I'm for some, but when is one?

It's not part of the loss of bees.
Bees, pollination… How important the work of the bee is, the fertilization of plants. What impedes him in this work is the human being, puts the difficulties on him and the human being ends the bee: the damages that we do not see directly as we do not see the work of the bee.
