Food for a bumble bee?

[BolshieBastard]

According to your "quote" (from I know not where) the bees turn nectar into honey in approx 1/2 hour...... ie "The bees then drop the honey into the beeswax comb" this is just total and absolute Tulip.....

If your definition of "vomit" is anything ejected from a body after being ingested then "to all intents and purposes" you are right..... however I always try to be a little more accurate to "to all intents and purposes"...

as a trite example "You eat Tulip"... because "to all intents and purposes" you eat stuff and then Tulip it...... personally I don't eat Tulip - I can distinguish between "Food" and "Tulip"

Also bees collect both nectar and pollen rather more than "in the spring"...

Its not from Wiki, I can tell you that.

.... anyway Cojak, how is your bee? Did he enjoy his bee-feast and fly off happily into the spring sunshine?

Some other Bee facts from my book:

- Bees are the only furry insect that can be taught to fetch a stick (with the exception of the Carniolan honey bee, which cant find its own @rse with 5 hands)
- Unique amongst insectum, Bees only have 5 true legs, the sixth being a stump with a whisk attachment.
- When a Bee gets wet, it turns into 2 Bees.

Bumble bees are usually solitary, but some species form communities of up to 50 or so. Usually their nests are underground. Wasps and hornets are to be avoided if possible do to the repeat fire on their stings making them trigger happy. My father had a rather large wasp nest in a tree, the pest control guy told him the largest wasp nest he found was so big he couldnt get the nest into the back of his van in one piece.

I had a granny in the Luffwaffe who was excused night flying becuase she was colour blind in one eye.
