Bees are collapsing in the U.S.
A key to their secrets might vanish.
The Bee Lab’s potential closure comes at a tough time for bees.

Droege studies native bees,
the types of pollinators that only live in the wild,
as opposed to honeybees,
which are farmed and bred for profit.
Entomologists stress that honeybees and native bees are different —
sort of like farmed chickens and wild birds.
But they can be exposed to the same threats,

As someone who is afraid of bees, this sounds like my worst nightmare.

My fair city of Roanoke attained “Bee City USA” status in 2022, which aims to “promote healthy, sustainable habitats for bees and other pollinators, responsible for the reproduction of nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we eat.”
Last night, a couple of garden clubs teamed up with the city to screen a new PBS Nature documentary, “My Garden of a Thousand Bees”.

The ornate interior of the Grandin Theater featuring textured stone walls, decorative carvings, and purple lighting. Seats are filled with audience members, and a presentation screen displays event details.
A woman addresses the audience before the film is screened. She is accompanied by another woman and the vice mayor. The event is taking place in a theater.

Plants produce more nectar when they ‘hear’ bees buzzing, scientists find;
Researchers suggest buzzing noises could be used as environmentally friendly way to enhance crop pollination

Went for a wander through the woods and heathland around Eyeworth pond in the New Forest yesterday. Even at 10 in the morning the birdsong was stunning: mostly song thrush, wren, blackcap, chaffinch. A single common redstart was my 1st of the year (male, singing), and at least 2 cuckoos, 1 seen in flight. Also 2 common lizards darted away into the bracken. Crab apples in bloom and alive with droning bees.

Is there an entomologist on the line? I have noticed at least 3 different bumble bees with this strange pale mark on the back (it's difficult to see clearly because they're never still).
I *think* it might be a kind of mite (varroa?) , they clearly feel it because I could see all the bees were stroking it occasionally with a leg, but they still continued flying and feeding. This was the best of about a hundred photos I tried to take with my phone!
Any clues what it is? @… #bumblebee #bees #mites #Mitestodon
Edit: new photo crop might be clearer
