Spruce's honey bees

Its the Green woodpecker, I dont think the other ones even try

So sad its happened last year as well , problem with not keeping at home , but my mum told me the other week that swans and canada geese have been taken from the local river/lake and been eaten by our East European friends (thats all I will say) !!!

Swans !! Hope they told the queen, she'll be furious.

 

I'd love to have watched them try

 

Spruce, I've been eating too many sugary foods over Christmas and have no doubt put on a pound or two.
How come your bees, who are ingesting sugar all day, don't put any weight on?
Or get diabetes?

Hi Jen

I will ask them over the weekend

Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates. It is about 38.5% fructose, 31% glucose, 17.1% water, maltose, sucrose, and other complex carbohydrates. Honey also contains many vitamins including B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid. Important minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and sodium as well as several amino acids are all found in honey. Antioxidant compounds which can delay damage to cells and tissues, are also found in honey. So far, chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase and pinocembrin have been identified. Generally, darker honeys have higher concentrations of antioxidants than lighter honeys.

 

also tastes scrumptious!

 

3 cheers for them bees
