This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer spread on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for w**ds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.

We do our best to take good care of all our colonies! But must admit it's challenging with forage disappearing quickly these days!

The Cape honeybee might have global celebrity status in the insect world, but there are many challenges to secure the future of this “famous bee variety” and sustain its contribution as an apex pollinator in the Western Cape.

Did you know!

Honey bees are sweet pollinators 🐝🌼, while wasps are buzzing protectors 🐝🚫! Bees make honey and help our gardens thrive, while wasps are nature's pest controllers. Both play unique roles in our ecosystem! 🍯
