I have also heard that bees get "drunk" on nectar.
Apparently,
whilst they are on the backs kicking their legs around, , you
can tickle their tummys!
I often wonder if it is just an overload of pollen in their leg
sacs preventing take-off!
Oh, I always thought those were buoyancy bags for young bees, in
case they fell in the water butt...
Now you're pollen my leg!
I'll have to try harder to wax eloquent.
Oh no - that'll polish us off.
You'll all go on taking the pistil you run out of ideas.
OT (Huh!) Yesterday's Guardian had a recipe which demanded "bee
pollen".
Available in jars in most Spanish supermarkets and corner shops...seems
to be a profitable side-line of the local honey producers' symbiotic
relationship between apiarists and fruit growers. A relationship that
is now breaking down because of the general public's wish for pipless
citrus fruit. Apiarists can no longer site their hives in certain
areas.
