American bee queens are turning black for the first time in history.

Israeli bees make honey from the tears of Muslims.
|
Yeah, but you know how the British Bees feel about the Muslim bees.
|
They want to rape them?

I didn't even bother reading the thread and this is still probably the best thing that's been posted. |

Two bumps in the front? Sounds good to me.

And jam. |

Stop answering for me bitch!
There's my multi flower honey which is a thick orange Clover, translucent white etc |
Can you tell what sort of honey is produced from the characteristics of the flower, or is it trial and error.
Also, you didn't answer Shamans question; if 2 different species of bees collect pollen from the same flower, will they make the same honey. |
oh sorry, yes probably
erm and yes you can work out what the honey will be from the characteristics of the flower...sort of. I think that over the years we worked it out by mono-flower honey, like when colonies where only around one flower (example rape seed) the bees will only collect that plants pollen and you can see the honey's characteristics (In RS's case terribly sticky and easily setting.) If its a multi-pollen honey you can either get it tested scientifically to find out each separate pollen type or simply rely on the characteristics of the honey to find out what the majority of the pollen in the honey is. -sorry if that's a bit garbled, I feel ill. |

This would be a whole different thread if the Wasps were dying out.
|
Yes by the way since you revived the thead. I GOT AN A*! No shit! Go me. But seriously, wasps are almost equally as important as bees pollinating wise!
|
Except wasps are annoying cunts.

I have learned more about Bees in the space of about four minutes than any other subject in my entire life.

Good, then my work here is done. Now then, I'm off to Mars before this thread degenerates.
