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

Israeli bees make honey from the tears of Muslims.

shaman 06-16-2010 02:35 PM

Yeah, but you know how the British Bees feel about the Muslim bees.

OANST 06-16-2010 03:06 PM

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.

At last, Sesame Street teaches American kids the correct way to speak English.

Two bumps in the front? Sounds good to me.

Do different types of bees produce different kinds of honey?

Honest, serious question.

Different flowers do. Borage Flower honey is paler and thicker than some other kinds. I can't remember any others though.

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.

STM 06-19-2010 03:29 AM

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.

Don't worry, it was just as understandable as usual.

This would be a whole different thread if the Wasps were dying out.

STM 07-04-2010 06:42 AM

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!

Dixanadu 07-04-2010 10:36 AM

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.

STM 07-07-2010 09:55 AM

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