Early April swarm removal.
Made sure to handle with care on this one due to to the location, Bees were patient calm and even tolerated me talking on and on about them to passerby's, theres never a day where I dont try to teach the importance of these creatures to others 🙏

Again another hive that was destined for potential death given a sturdy job and real home 🫶🐝🍯

Well… Oliver’s biological clock was WAY off this morning.
He had me up at 3:30 AM — instead of his usual 5:00 wake-up call.
So yes… I am a big ol’ cranky pants today this morning.

And of course, being me, my tired brain went straight to a bee question:
What happens if honey bees don’t get their proper rest?
Yep — honey bees really do sleep!

Honey bees go through real sleep cycles, including light sleep, deep sleep, and resting phases where their antennae droop and their bodies go still.

But when bees don’t get enough sleep?
🐝They get disoriented
🐝Their memory weakens
🐝Their waggle dance becomes sloppy and confusing
🐝They don’t forage as well
🐝They become more stressed and less efficient

Sleep is critical for learning, navigation, and communication inside the hive

So while I’m stumbling around today with my coffee…
at least I’m not trying to navigate miles of landscape and dance my directions for breakfast. 😂
