Safely moved an external honeybee hive that was on the side of the @detroitmetroairport.marriott #hotel. We used our bee vacuum to collect the bees and cut down the honeycomb and placed it on empty frames. We located them into a new hive.

Bee-Tastic Fact of the Day!⠀ There are somewhere around 400-500 hundred species of wild bees in British Columbia. Wild bees include the adorably dopey bumblebees, solitary bees, sweat bees, bees that bite instead of sting, bees that nest in the ground and creepy vulture bees that feed on carrion.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY! ⠀ African bees are a little more energetic than their European sisters. They defend their hives vociferously and will attack in the hundreds. A well-intentioned scientist brought them over to South America in the late 1950s, where they easily settled into their environment, escaped from quarantine and spread upwards into the southern United States, causing widespread panic about killer bees and a handful of B movies.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

Our bees on the @gmrencen #greenroof are doing great. Adding additional honey supers to 3 hives. One of the girls is pollinating some herbs.

BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY!⠀ Bees belong to the order of Hymenoptera (wee beasties with clear membraned wings like ants, wasps and bees), the superfamily Apoidea, and the clade Anthophila. The common honeybee is called Apis Mellifera (honey bearing bee).⠀ ⠀ Cool Bee Fact: The genetic regulation of honey bees is more similar to humans than to other insects.⠀ ⠀ Mild-mannered Apis Mellifera, originally from Europe, is the honeybee of choice for most beekeepers, since they are generally pretty tolerant of people mucking about in their hives.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect
