It's #spring and the #flowers are blooming, which means that #Bees have got a good supply of food. They particularly seem to like the small flowers of the #Cotoneaster plant in the front #garden and throughout a #SunnyDay, there are always several dozen on it.

It's a nice #SunnyDay outside and it really feels like spring. The #bees are busy making use of the #flowers, while the flowers are busy making use of the bees.

The #UK #ElectricyDemand is currently 32 GW and of that, 25.2% is coming from #SolarEnergy, 17.1% is coming from #WindEnergy, 16.8% is coming from #NuclearEnergy and 9.9% is coming from #Biomass and only 7% is coming from #Gas. There is also a fair amount coming from continental Europe through the various interconnections.

Honey Bees

Yesterday a honey bee visited me inside my kitchen.
The window was open to let in some fresh air.
I was so thrilled to see it - here in downtown, which is void of most all life.
A bee finds me, not matter what room I’m in.
This singular bee visit happens once a year. It’s a sign of the changing weather.
It’s scouting. Seeking a warm place.
Oh! I wish I had a nice hive for it to come and live with me.
All bees would be welcomed. I’ve ceased to be afraid of a sting.
I always have a jar of honey, and remember them each day.

"Australian Honey Bee Council chief executive Danny LeFeuvre said in light of this recent finding, containing varroa mite in Australia has now become much more complicated.

"It's the worst-case scenario for the response having detection in blue zones, and so far away and in a high-risk area with almonds and other hives in close proximity," he said.

Crop Pollination of Australia president Steve Fuller said with so many hives from across the country positioned in the Riverina and Sunraysia at the moment for the almond pollination, the outbreaks could have a big impact on the industry.

"This is our greatest fear. You're looking at tens of thousands of hives in those areas doing almond population at the moment," he said.

"This is bigger than Ben Hur now.""
well, we had a pretty good run :/
