Bees are great. We need them. Dana, that is so cool about your dad. I would love to learn to keep bees.

These are for solitary bee's. Although they're very close to each other here, they work independently. They don't put an insect in there usually, it's a small bit of food, the young bee - to - be, and a seal to try and keep the young from being predated upon. One wasp that stings and stuns an insect, and implants it with it's young, is the Jeweled Wasp. After sealing up the below ground incubation chamber where it has dragged/coerced the insect to walk, the insect is eaten by the larvae of the wasp. It's not the only wasp to do this, either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More than 20 new taxes in Obama's Health Care Bill - including a tax on our homes when we sell them; even our toothbrushes!

Thanks for that, Adak, I was wondering the same things as Orthodoc. But they look like bees.

Charlene : (As she reads an article) I can't believe this. Did you see this? Droves of vicious killer bees are headed toward the United States. They're from South America and are expected to arrive in three to four years. That is terrible. Can you imagine? I'll bet our bees are scared to death.

No, it's really a great 80's song by a local Burlington Vt, band. No Rick Roll. Swear. The song is called "Killer Bee Bop" by Zoot Wilson.

And they don't carry up insects to implant their larva inside - that's what parasitic wasps do, (but they make the victim's walk, not carry them). One such wasp is the Jewel wasp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN2XMyxAs5o But those are not found in these Bee Hotels. The tenants there are all solitary species of bee's (hopefully), not wasps. |

Thanks, Adak! I hadn't known about solitary bees; I was only aware of the communal type. If/when I get my rural property, I'm going to build one of those bee hotels.

Adak, that's so informative, I'm going to forgive your apostrophe abuse.
