@heygardener @RhysHywelM Ahh so thisnis what that bee after you saved him was doing

[Hey Gardener 🌱 @heygardener]

Bees have a hidden superpower:

🐝✨Buzz pollination✨🐝

They are able to use flight muscles, without using their wings, to vibrate at different frequencies and durations to collect pollen.

This bumblebee is using sonication. Listen to the change in sound at the end.

Trying to get healthier, for work as a gardener and for general life living. However my body hates me, Monday night zumba strong and tonight learning squash with the boy. Ouch. #gardener #fitnessgirl #fitness #ouch #Squash

Expect some plant of the week spam coming your way. The last few weeks we've been concentrating on some edibles. But first a sleepy bee on some Echinacea. #bloomsforbees #bee #flowers #gardens
