FabSwingers.com forum: Save the bees.

hiding from cock pics.

I haven't seen a lot of bees this year, and I'm told that the human population would cease to exist very quickly if the bees were not about.

A friend sent me an interesting article about when you see a bee that looks like it's dying, may just be tired and need some energy.

The article said mix 2 parts sugar with one part water and put a drip in front of the bee, this will give it enough energy to fly away. Yesterday I told my delighted daughter that I'd found a tired bee, she ran off mixed up the sugar solution, fed it to the bee,and it worked an absolute treat.

A bee that hasn't moved for a little while, and looked like it wouldn't move again, within a minute was reinvigorated and flew away.

Such an easy and interesting way to help the bees.

Get sweet and sugary people.

I always put bees I find on the floor onto the nearest flower I find.

You can tack bottle tops to a piece of wood either driven into the ground or secured onto a wall, and then fill them up with sugar water for bees to drink from

It's really important you don't use honey or demerara sugar or artificial sweeteners (yes, I saw someone mix up a sweetener for bees).

I'm glad that you lot are doing your bit for the bee population because I just squish 'em when I see them.

I don't feel so bad about it now.

Do not put too much sugar water out in your garden though, I read on a bee site that if a worker finds a large food source, they tell the hive and you end up with a swarm of bees in your garden until it is all gone

Why not demerara sugar? I think that's all I have.

Evie! is a bee saver.

We have a lot of bees here. I seem to have a lot of bee friendly plants.
