Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.
Keeping honey bees does NOT help our declining native wild bee populations. In fact keeping honey bees means more bees competing for ever more precious forage.
‘Bees are for life not just for honey.’

"Precise, individualized foraging flights in honeybees revealed by multicopter drone-based tracking", by Rachael Stentiford et al. 2026 (Andrew Straw's lab) @strawman@sciencemastodon.comhttps://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(26)00084-9
"Although bees could choose from multiple routes, we discovered that individual bees follow idiosyncratic paths with striking and repeatable precision."
"The level of precision exhibited by their flight paths exceeds that reported in the waggle dance, implying that dance variability does not reflect a limit in the bee’s underlying spatial representation."
