Yesterday I installed a few new packages of bees. Looks like some nice weather in the forecast for collecting pollen from the poplars and willows.

🐝’s are so cool!

Honey bees have almost three million hairs on their tiny bodies.
Each hair is strategically placed to carry pollen. Pollen gets stuck into every little part of their body. We all know that this assists with pollination. It also assists the bee to get pollen for the hive to make bee bread.
What else do the hairs do??
So, this is pretty cool!
While a honey bee is flying in the air their wings give off a positive charge. A flower with pollen and nectar produces a negative charge.
When the honey bee flies over a flower that has pollen and nectar, the honey bee’s hair will stand on end!! It is very similar as when we get static in our clothes or hair. The honey bee has OVER three million hairs on its body.
This charge reaction will direct the bee to the flower that has pollen and nectar. As a result, honey bees do not have to waste their time on going to every flower. The honey bee knows which flower to visit due to the electrical charge reaction.

It is REALLY hard to stay calm when this happens. I always double check my zippers and flaps are tight. If I have a spicy hive I always wear extra layers.
