that's new - sugar water - you and your sugar thing!
imagine sniffing that huge a bumblebee in the video
can you ?
double dare? video :D
hahah
I did sniff him while he was eating
when it's busily nipping on the honey it just puts its forelegs up
you can lift the plate up and sniff him or her all you want haha
but not too close to your nose
some of them may have mites@meesterboom

Bees have mites? No! Seriously?
It's been knowledge central here tonight!
Ya, the sugar water thing is quite a cool technique and one that is close to my heart ;0) when i first heard about it I found a bee only a few days later and tried it out and it worked a charm!
I don't think I would have the courage to sniff that big a beast. In my head I would be expecting a wild attack from the bee!!!
knowledge central .. hmmm should be the new marketing pitch mode of Steemit ..
Steemit the knowledge central :D@meesterboom yes, they have mites too
yes, they do have mites I don't know what those are cold
they cling to their bodies and am not sure whether its transferable to us but better not
okay if you dont have the courage dont :D
but seriously when they're nippin' they forget everything
so I also have to watch them close
since we got plenty of birds in the garden as you often hear on my videos
always singing hahah
I have heard the birds!!
It's definitely not worth taking the risk of the little more things deciding to hop on board. So that is of course the excuse I will now use about not wanting to get up close!! ;0)
Knowledge central is what it should be!!
you're excuse eh? I don't know you like that but that's fine
we don't have to do it
I was curious and since it's been kissing flowers I wonder what it smells like so sniff I did haha
my husband is more cautious than I am he won't either
but actually any bee even a wasp - won't sting when eating
there's something about that honey
they seem so obsessed and stoned they get unaware of the rest of the world while nippin on it just like butterflies@meesterboom hahaha
In that case to avoid being stung in summer I have an idea! I shall smart honey all over myself and that way if any of these critters land on me with intent to sting I shall be safe as they will start eating. Wayhay ;0D
