Bee Mystery

While the home BBB’s went missing I had a look at some old haunts and found some new roosts, out in the wild.

*Click on the pictures for a proper look … and click again

There wasn’t a lot of time for a few shots since these BBB’s don’t settle until it’s nearly dark, on a steep ditch wall.

Well, you take what you can get sometimes. No crime in that. And they are little beauties anyway. Just don’t fall in.

Six different individuals here, all coming and going in the dying light, located where they’d catch the last of the suns rays.

Some shots are best cropped, no apologies for that. It is a re-presentation after all, not a re-production – what I do here.

Trying to capture some colourful background – failing – makes the little beauties shine all the more – for our pleasure.

There were different plants in varying stages of their life cycle. The bees prefer the dried ones, better to hold on perhaps.

During a night that can be the death of them, better to be holding to something that won’t let you down.

And everything has its time. Not every bee wakes up with the rising sun. But we all do sleep … some time.

The Blue Banded Bee house out back, where I found the Neon Cuckoo of last post, went remarkably quiet from around noon on the 24th.

The silence was unusual. After weeks of frantic activity the bees stopped coming, no more buzzing and tumbling at the entrance.

Same again this morning, quiet as the grave. Then, around noon again, they came back.

Just a natural cycle it seems. Here one day or season, gone the next, and back again.

It’s what it is …

  I think you have it the wrong way round, produce content people want first and they might come. Surely, good content is the best advertisement, but to augment it just follow the link in previous comment.

  I’d say start by producing content people want to view. What do you love? But you can also google it https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+get+readers+for+wordpress+blog

      Then blog about that, when you love something it shows. And try whatever else you are moved to. If you don’t do something you’ll never know if it works for you, or not.

What a pleasure to have the time and inclination to follow the bee cycles :)

  The pleasure is in the absence of clutterful thought and emotion, seeing with a wonderful clarity. You give it the time by taking time from something else. The inclination is something born of the need to get back to the natural sense of things. In my experience …

  They see all round, how they fly so well. Watch them dart around the byways of the garden and tumble about in perfect synch at the entrance to their hives.
