When you leave dry flower stems in the garden, the native bees have something to hold while they sleep
After 4 days of extreme heat, this native plant has sheltered at least 5 native bees
"Advocates began sounding the alarm over PFAS in pesticides in 2023. The #Biden EPA attempted to discredit the author of one study that identified PFAS in pesticides, and the agency appeared to have lied about whether some of the chemicals are in pesticides. Under Donald #Trump, the EPA has increased the number of PFAS proposed for use in pesticides."

#California farms applied millions of pounds of #PFAS to key crops, study finds
‘ #ForeverChemicals’ sprayed on #almonds, #grapes, #tomatoes and other crops as activists warn of ‘obvious problem’
by Tom Perkins
Tue 18 Nov 2025 07.00 EST
Excerpt: "California farms applied an average of 2.5m lbs of PFAS “forever chemicals” per year on cropland from 2018 to 2023, or a total of about 15m lbs, a new review of state records shows.
The chemicals are added to pesticides that are sprayed on crops such as almonds, pistachios, #wine grapes, #alfalfa and tomatoes, the review of California Department of Pesticide Regulation data found. The Environmental Working Group nonprofit put together the report.
The risk for uptake of PFAS is likely higher in water-rich fruits and vegetables, because water attracts the chemicals, and research has shown PFAS may concentrate at dangerous levels in some produce. The chemicals also pollute water supplies and present a higher risk to the often low income and Latino #farmworkers."

When searching for a specific ‘target’ #bumblebees are slower but more accurate than #honeybees which are faster/more impulsive and make more errors. Bumblebees sacrifice speed for accuracy.

The different colors of the cells indicate pollen from different species of plants, packed away to be used as food for hungry honey bee larvae.

I’m often advised to ‘stick to #bees as that’s what you’re good at’ and leave the political and social stuff to others, to which my response is always that if you cannot see that it is all intertwined you just don’t get it.
If we can’t look after, love, care for, nurture and do the right thing by each other then there’s not a hope in whatever hell you might believe in that we’re going to care for bees, trees, seas and all the other wonderful creatures we get to share this life and…
