…large amounts of water metabolically during flight #bumblebees are less prone to dehydration/desiccation than most terrestrial insects.
However they still need safe access to water.
Research suggests that #bees locate sources of #water by smell rather than sight.

#water is a source of essential #nutrients for #bees and this explains their preference for ‘dirty’ water sources containing organic matter, algae etc.

So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull & cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to & detrimental to genuine bee saving.

Context:
There are 3 basic types of bee on the planet.
#Solitarybees.
#Bumblebees.
#Honeybees.
Of the 20,000+ species of bee only 8 are honey #bees.
Around 40% of bee species are under pressure worldwide.
Honey bees are not in trouble.
Repeat.
Honey bees are not in trouble.

Honey bees are primarily a ‘kept species’. There have never before been so many #honeybees on the planet.
It is estimated that there are 100 million + hives on the planet. It’s a multi billion euro/dollar industry. It is not #nature or natural. These are farmed creatures.

There are multiple factors affecting an ecosystem that sustains pollinator health.
Pesticides leave compromised immune systems more open to diseases and parasites.
Commercial Farming leaves them similarly depleted and susceptible to disease.

Content is literally disappearing from the Internet along with our #Health choices.
It sounds conspiratorial because it is. Independent #Journalists and health experts are blowing the whistle. But it’s become a silent one.
