@sprzyslp @BeeAsMarine Hi Sandra, I’m very curious about how you calculated that neonics are 7,797 times more toxic than DDT. Please tell me.

@the_beeguy I’m interested in knowing more. Please cite the sources. Seems very important.

@maxfawcett Running for president in the USA?
The best his party could do?
For real?

The dysfunction at #yyccc can only get worse if mayor/ council are logjammed with party politics, reporting to people like TBA / David Parker.

Calgarians need pragmatism & solutions -- not more bickering about manufactured issues irrelevant to helping our quality of life.

It’s not just bee species that are disappearing.

@lukelelond @THCobbPHC @LovinLife_47 @LukaszukAB Hey Luke, a pastor would tell you that Mathew 18:6 is not about pedophiles. Jesus is talking about people interfering with those who are beginning their faith journey, ie, those small in faith. Mathew 6:14 or Mathew 7:12 help us fix ourselves and are the ones to live by. Peace.

Must see video for you!

[Jeff Karron @PollinatorCons]

Our new nature film “Bumblebees, shooting stars and buzz pollination in the wild” uses slow motion macro video to highlight ecology of buzz pollination in #bumblebees and green sweat bees. Plus cool scenes of queens mating, grooming & nest searching https://t.co/mI8CO4a1DL PlsRT

@Rainmaker1973 Wow! First I saw two dogs and a human, but after a minute, I saw the angel Gabriel blowing Dinah’s horn at a train station while two astronauts did a spacewalk.

Cameroon to Canada: About Bees podcast.
Patrick Tefouet was an ag organizer and teacher in Cameroon. Now in Calgary, he's keeping bees and working with Calgary Catholic Immigration Society.

@Rainmaker1973 And here a fun fact: the Dakotas have about 4 US Senators per million people; the folks on Manhattan Island have about 0.1 US Senators per million people.

[Ron Miksha @ronmiksha]

We talk bees on the About Bees podcast, but our latest episode focuses on an amazing honey plant, responsible for millions of pounds of white, mild honey.

@StephenBHeard OK. I just read your entire piece, which is self-described as somewhat strange. That’s fine. Weird seems to be fashionable this year.

You have provided a great explanation for unbalanced species diversity and even a visual allusion to the Wizard of Oz. Thank you!

[Stephen Heard @StephenBHeard]

Why do lions in Medieval paintings look so strange, and how does that connect to the mathematics underlying the evolution of Earth's biodiversity? https://t.co/Ps3DcqyykQ #sciart
