At Kauaʻi Community College, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard suited up in a beekeeper’s jacket and hood for an up-close beehive demonstration in the school’s apiary with instructor Jimmy Trujillo. He explained how the bees are pollinators and critical to sustainable living on Kauaʻi, but are under attack by invasive beetle species and exposure to dangerous pesticides.
i'm going to move another couple of hives down there next week I think.
Nice place on the top of the hill behind his house.

More improvements to the apiary - an old Belfast sink plugged, dug in and filled with rocks makes a drinking spot for the bees.
I've spent a few hours there recently helping lug buckets of rocks around, plus planting some surplus plants from my allotment - poppies, strawberries and a potentilla. The seeds planted along the top of the rock wall have sprouted and the apple trees will soon be in bloom. The bees stayed indoors today though, too wet and miserable to go foraging.

Even in the healthiest of colonies, bees die every single day in winter. If you consider that your healthy colony may have 50,000 or maybe even 60,000 members going into the fall but may have only 20,000 come spring somewhere along the line you lost 30,000 to 40,000 bees. That’s a bunch. Just for giggles late, I’ll take the smaller colony 30,000 and divide it by 182, which is the number of days in October, November, December, January, February, and March. That gives me 164 bee deaths per day. The larger colony number of 40,000 gives me 220 bee deaths per day. Of course, these numbers are approximations. Nearly every day I walk up there (for my benefit more than theirs) and I flick the dead bees off the landing boards. What I’ve noticed is that a new pile of bees every day is a signal that all is (potentially) well inside. Only a healthy colony has the beepower to dispatch undertaker bees to clean up the bodies. On warmer days they fly them off and drop them on the ground, but on colder days they just shove them out the entrance. #climateaction #beekeeper #pollinators #beekeepersgram_feature #hives #om #bee #insects_of_our_world #insects #protectthebees #beesrule #beesofinstagram #lovethybees #savethebees #saveourbees #savethebees #beekeeping #beekeeperlife #apricutores #apiary #backyardbeekeeping #beehive #honeybees #bienenvolk #imkerin #imkerei #idahome #thisisboise #damniloveboise #iamboise.

Chesterfield And District Bee Keeper's Association out apiary meeting combined with a 'Bees and Teas' party to raise funds for the 'Early Learning Centre' at the Respect Kindergarten in Kavukiland in Namibia which our host helps out at every (British) winter. My husband is the one showing the parts to non bee keepers. The man on the right with the beer glass is the apiary manager!
Adjacent to a rapeseed field these beehives stand like Easter Island statues.
This is also my first upload to Flickr of an image "developed" with CS4. Not too terrifying, but I have so much to learn!
Set into the outer wall of the Flower Garden at Heligan is an eight niche apiary, here displaying two styles of Skeps (straw hive). Skeps are no longer used because they're not considered practical in practicing modern Bee welfare.
The Heligan estate was originally bought by the Tremaynes in the 16th century, and earlier members of the family were responsible for Heligan House and the (still private) gardens that immediately surround it.
"Lowarth Helygen", meaning "willow tree garden", pronounced 'h'LIG'n' is derived from the Cornish word helygen, "willow tree".
The gardens were created by members of the Cornish Tremayne family from the mid-18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The gardens were neglected after the First World War and restored only in the 1990's.

Apiary or Astronaut.
This apiarist was a real sweet man (no pun). He saw me stopped and watching him, so he told me that it's unlikely, but possible that the bees would get agitated and attack me, and that since I was on a bicycle, I would find it easy to escape.
That did not transpire... and he eventually came over with a honeycomb and let me taste it. It was otherworldly! So delicious. This was right next to the beach on the Corsican coast.
As we talked about bees, honey, and other things, he kept offering the honey to me. I would sweep my finger across it and pick a serving. He asked me if my family kept bees. I told him that my uncle was a beekeeper up until his death in the mid 80's, and right before Saddam's chemical weapons made all the bees disappear in Kurdistan. I told him how happy my father was when a beehive decided to nest in our orange tree some years after the attacks.
Before I left him to finish his work, he told me to eat more of his honey because I had a long way to go and I needed energy.
In parts of the Black Sea region known as Pontus, the honey produced from the flowers of rhododendrons contains a high concentration of a chemical called grayanotoxin. Even though the honey has been used for centuries, it was not until 1891 that the actual toxic compound within it was identified as grayanotoxin, found in the rhododendrons and azaleas of the Black Sea region. The toxicity level of rhododendrons vary by species, and some a highly toxic, while others are inactive. Symptoms caused by eating the mad honey include dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, heart irregularities, and in severe cases, convulsions and death. Most victims however, recover within a few hours as the symptoms dissipate. It is very rare for anyone to become poisoned by ingesting the honey, but it does happen.

CONSTELLATIONS
May 13 — June 11, 2017
On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Previews are May 13-18 | Opening night May 19
By Nick Payne
Directed by Chris Coleman
Starring Silas Weir Mitchell (Monroe on NBC’s Grimm)
This spellbinding, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny. Imagine: What if everything you’ve ever done exists along with everything you’ve never done?

Apiary behind the Cleveland Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
The apiaries -- along with several chickens, a vegetable garden, and some hogs -- are part of a sustainable farming project the convention center's food vendor has run since April 2014.
Levy Restaurants executive chef Matt Del Regno started with just three beehives. The project has grown to 14 hives, which produce enough honey for all of the coffee and tea service at the convention center, as well as salad dressings, granola bars, desserts and even lip balms.
Del Regno then added six chickens in 2015, which produce about 25 percent of the eggs used at the convention center. Two pigs are being bred for "Farmer" Lee Jones -- a sustainable agriculture pioneer and owner of The Chef's Garden (a sustainable farm that produces fine produce for gourmet restaurants).

June 8, 2016 - Students from Fisher Park Public School in Ottawa, CA, visit the U.S. Ambassador to Canada's official residence, Lornado, to learn about it's new apiary and recently updated kitchen garden.
Central America and Australia are the only two regions in the world to house Meliponini, a variety of honey-producing, stingless bees. Ancient Mayan civilisation revered this bee, as a symbol for the bee god Ah Muzen Cab. These bees were, and still are, treated by native Mayan families as pets.
The ancient method of enclosing a wild hive into a portable log is still in use today. Meliponini are, however, rapidly declining in population due to deforestation reducing their habitat and the increase in africanised bee-farming, which produces much more honey. The beauty of the sacred honey-harvesting ritual is quickly disappearing with it.
Xel-Ha celebrates a traditional honey-harvest twice a year, cleaning its hives and collecting honey during the full moon in June and December. This beautiful ceremony is conducted by a Mayan priest, with musical performers, traditional altars, and is ultimately celebrated with a feast.
This is like an utopia that I have long dreamed.
I had bee sting here just after I took this photo. It was the very first experience to me!
Everyone worried about the allergic to bee but I was safe and Mr. Man took care of my knee. It wasn't swollen anyway:D
This is a good sign for being a bee keeper!
