wasp sting with venom

Its only tiny but it hurts, its is best to get some relief for the pain, cry a bit, shout and maybe don't rub it as that may spread it about and make the pain worse. Not sure about this point and will have to find out a bit more about the biology of venon and the effect on the human body.

and other things you will need to know to keep a healthy hive.

Pollen

This is a bee with the pollen all over its hairy body, sometimes the legs look really heavy and yet it flys on to the hive where the work is in progess. All the pollen gets transferred into the various plants along the way and the bees dance they 8 figured dance to tell they other bees where they found the pollen. This communication is vital to the health of the hive and the reason for writing the blog. If the bees get drunk they are not able to do the dance very well. They hive keepers are saying to cut off the chemical in the insecticides and then the bees will come.

Hairy Footed Bees

The bees have cool names, let me introduce the Hairy Footed Flower Bee, this is the male, and they do a lot on work on the ground.

As you can see the wing are able to lift a body that seem large and heavy, somehow it works.
