The bumbles are loving the scabious in the tunnel, The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. #BumbleBees #bees #flowers #wild #nature #sanctuary #organic #veganic #GrowYourOwn

Bee. Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep. Dream of a planet where people read the whole sentence before reacting, checked the facts before forming an opinion, accepted the good rather than seeking the nasty. Loved themselves enough to love life. #bee #goodnight #dream

Mornin’. Now that’s what you call owning the goddamned flower! Bumblebee feeds on cucumber flower. We get cucumbers. Simple. Brilliant. Beautiful. #assumetheposition #bees #food #cucumber #vegan

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 291. Bumblebees spend long periods in bright sunlight but can’t close their eyes. UV induced damage is known to impact the eyes of some insects but bumblebee eyes exposed to similar levels of UV-radiation appear unaffected. #bees

Early today as I’m getting off here for the rest of the day. Got some hedgehog wankers trying to get me to admit to something that just isn’t a fact just to suit their narrative and I won’t. Thick skinned enough to not give a fuck and not back down in the face of bullying from a

Bee. Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep. Dream to a soundtrack no one else hears. #bee #goodnight #dream

Early. Leaving me more time to learn more about hedgehogs and specifically hedgehog rescues. It’s fascinating. I’ll keep you posted on what I find. The Hog Guy instead of The Bee Guy? Or maybe a mash up: The Bog Guy! The Hee Guy? 🙄😂

Bee. Goodnight John Boy. Systems don’t dream, people do… #bee #goodnight #dream

Late. But worth the wait! No doubt. ‘If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me…’ Wait a second… ‘If you don't know bees by now You will never never never know bees…’ That works. Altogether now. ‘If you don’t know #bees…

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 294. Bee vision is trichromatic. They perceive three colours of light - green/blue/ultraviolet (and combinations of). Humans, primates and some new world monkeys are also trichromats but our three colours are blue/green/red! #bees

Yet another thing you have in common with bees! Trichromacy. …or trichromatism if you prefer isms. Anyhow… It’s #Friday folks! Have the best #weekend you can. You know the drill: Be #gentle Be #kind Be #true Be like #bees Go easy. On yourself. On others. On the #planet.

#TheHogAtHalfPast Basic Hedgehog facts every other day at half past…whatever hour I fancy. # 1. There are seventeen species of hedgehog on the planet. #hedgehogs

Hedgehogs? But you’re The Bee Guy I hear you gasp…or maybe not…maybe it’s just the autumn breeze playing tricks on me. I am. Don’t worry. But you see because of an interaction on here earlier this week I’m taking a good look at hedgehogs and specifically hedgehog rescues…

One second bee. Bees for those with an extremely short attention sp…oh look hedgehogs!🐝🦔😂🤌 #onesecondbee #onesecondnature #beequick #bees #nature #science #fun #beesanctuaryireland
