This was the most amazing swarm of bees I’ve ever seen!

These drawers were full of bees!

This is heartbreaking. Please plant native flowers, bushes and trees that will provide food for the pollinators of our planet.

North America’s monarch butterfly has been classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world’s most comprehensive scientific authority on the status of species. The decision follows decades of falling populations. https://t.co/AYvmcDdhvk

Saving a swarm of #bees!

The queen bee is not the leader of the hive and she doesn’t rule over the other bees. It’s the female worker #bees who make the decisions…and they do so collectively as a group!

This washing machine had been repurposed and was being used as a compost bin… until bees decided to move in and build a hive there!

[Erika Thompson @texasbeeworks]

@Mo0gster @Johanna_Losh The life of bees is dramatic by nature.

[Erika Thompson @texasbeeworks]

The bees on this umbrella needed more than just a new home...they needed a new queen!

[Erika Thompson @texasbeeworks]

@thepwt821 I had her shipped to me in the mail and was taking her and another queen to colonies that I was going to split later that day. If you take bees and resources from one hive, and give them a new queen, you can create another bee colony.

[Erika Thompson @texasbeeworks]

@Mo0gster This is simply untrue.

[Erika Thompson @texasbeeworks]

@GreenInkBrigade Yes, I happened to have a queen on me that day. It's busy bee season, I did this removal in the morning, and I had a full day of beework ahead of me. That queen was going to be used later on to split a healthy colony in order to start another.
