Where is all the honey bees?

I was just out in my yard with my 3 yr old daughter. Our neighboring field we keep mowed is full of weed flowers and clover. When she ran over there I was worried about bees, but strangely enough there wasn't the first honey bee! Where are they%26lt; something really seems a miss here....Where is all the honey bees?
It's called Colony Collapse Disorder and its affecting hives across the country. It first started appearing several years ago, but has become more prevalent. What happens is all the worker bees leave a hive and die, leaving behind the queen bee.





Its very rare for a hive to leave behind the queen bee which is why this problem is so troubling.Where is all the honey bees?
There is something wrong with honeybees. I heard that are is something killing them on the News two Fridays ago. Bee keepers are taking the bees out to get honey and there are no worker bees in there. The queen is dying because there are no worker bees.
Honey bees are starting to die all around the world, with losses ranging from 30-60% I still haven't found out the why, but I know that A LOT of research is being made, since honey bees are so important for pollinating. One recomendation I heard from a friend of mine was to start beekeeping. He's done it since I've known him, and his bees aren't dead...yet. So with some assistance from him, I finally made a hive and started some beekeeping myself. That's the best I can do for you, man.

My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?

They are usually dead around the basement window (yellow jackets) and attitic windows (black wasps). And usually 1-3 flying around her house. They usually end up in her daughters bedroom where they are discovered while she sleeping. We live in central PA and this is ALL year long. We have no idea where they are coming in from. All windows are new. Exterminator spray but with in a week or 2 they are back. Any suggestions to rid ourselves of these bees and wasps?My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?
First check your basement or attic or space between your ceiling and roof for a beehive or wasp hive. Lots of bees and wasps will put their hive in an attic or hole in a wooden house wall. Wasps will more often put their hives in a wooden house wall if termites made the holes - because then the young wasps can feed off the termites.


Don't just have the exterminator spray and leave - you are paying that person way too much! A real exterminator who really knows their job would have inspected your house from top to botom looking for all kinds of insect damage such as termites and wasps nests inside your attic or under your roof eaves, and then given you a full estimate for treating for more than just spraying those bees.


We have ants in our yard that make their nests in our walls and into our attic crawl space. They bring in small termite larva that eat bigger holes in our wooden siding, and after the ants and termites come the wasps to feed. You need to go over every inch of the house, inside and out and look for their entry points. If you see ants, wasps, or bees flying in the air around a certain spot - there's your hive or entry point. Once you find it, find a different PCA who really knows their stuff, including calling in a beekeeper who can safely remove a beehive and leave you some clean honeycomb!My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?
You probably have a serious nest issue somewhere within the walls or ceiling of your house. Exterminators can knock the population down, but until you locate the nest - and the queen - they'll be back. Call a beekeeper for advice. If you have honey bees, he may agree to move the hive for you, free.
ok no not really but i heard that bees and wasps hate the color blue but maybe a fly light will help the blue lights that kills them maybe it will help you out, but there could be a hole in the walls that they found you will have to call insect control to have them search the walls or if your not scared yourself then you will have to we have the same problem here

  • Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?

    Because it's a cartoon based on a children's book, silly. ^_^





    In cartoons, ok, things are not, by definition, ';high definition';. You don't get to see every last detail unless the artist renders it. So in a cartoon about Pooh, odds are the bees and other insects would be too small--they'd be dots. It's the same reason why you never see fingers, or proper hands even, on a Powerpuff Girl. It's a decision to not render the detail based on art style.





    Oh, and it's based on a children's book, duh. And in the book bad things of that sort don't happen *so often to Pooh*, ok? If they did it would ruin the narrative because the details wouldn't be *relevant* to the story.





    Now if this were *Eeyore's* story, he's mopey, he'd get stung by bees. It would work. It would be a relevant part of the story because it's in character for that character to *suffer*, ok?





    Not so much with everyone else.....seriously. :p *lol*Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?
    That's because Winnie the Pooh isn't alive even in the concept's reality. The only live character is the boy, Christopher Robin, and the other characters are just the boy's imagination. Pooh getting stung is not part of the boy's imagination so Pooh doesn't get stung.Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?
    its a kids show hes not gonna get stung by a bee because then theyd have to introduce a new guy like a dog or somethin that will give him treatment


    and who would wanna mess with a bear...a yellow bear...with a shirt
    That's not a really gentle or soothing thing to put in a cartoon. That would upset the kids come on now...you know that.
    Bears have fur that is too thick for bees to penetrate.
    He does; he just gets sexual pleasure from it.
    That would f*uck up the whole concept of a children's show.








    Good question, though, lol.
    Think of it this way: who the hell messes with a bear?

    For any of you who remember the secret life of bees?

    So i have some questions for those of you hu have read the secret life of bees and are bored enough to answer:





    1 what happens during a birthday month?


    2 What is the origin of the black madonna


    3 what happens when lily calls t ray collect? that ones hard


    4 what happens to zach in townFor any of you who remember the secret life of bees?
    uhm i read it a few months ago so i dont really remember





    1. during a birthday month the person's whose month it is gets to pick out dinner maybe i think


    2. the slaves i think went to pray to the black madonna and she got chained up and thrown in the river i think but she still showed up in the place i think


    3. uhm i think shes in the lwayers office right? and he yells at her and i doesnt she like ask him what her favorite color is or somethin


    4. uhm something with the truck and he gets arrested i think





    sorry its the best i could doFor any of you who remember the secret life of bees?
    sorry i havent even read it

    What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds & the Bees?

    she honestly didn't know until recently how sex actually works. should i make fun of her, pity her, congratulate her for not being a skank?What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds %26amp; the Bees?
    All three.What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds %26amp; the Bees?
    be the friend that she expects you to be and welcome her to the ';new world of sex';
    None of the 3. You should treat her like she's normal. You shouldn't make her feel bad; she's your friend, after all! Answer her questions, discuss...maybe she needs this from a friend!!
    Congradulate her, The longest I could go with out learning about it was 9 years old. We live in a perverted world
    lol i dont really bealieve that but try and pick two of the three
    buzz buzz....
    tell her about woman and man !!
    Bully her ! She's 19 !
    That's really really sad. Seriously where has she been. Under a freakin rock. Anyways I would pity her first then smack her. lol
    Just dont do anything. She might be sensitive inside.
    Congratulate her for not putting herself out there like, but I'm wondering why in the hell is she just now knowing all of this. It's the year 2008 people
    For a 19 year old not to know the mechanics of reproduction and sexual intercourse, then at least one of the following must apply:





    1. Lack of interest in the subject.


    2. Substandard IQ.


    3. Was given incorrect/contradictory from a trusted source (friend, teacher, relative)


    4. Is playing ignorant.





    If it was me, I'd have no time/patience for 1,2, and 4. If it's number 3 I'd show a bit of sympathy, but not a whole lot because number 2 must be a factor for number 3 to have worked for so long.
    Who are you to say anything? Be her friend and don't talk about it unless she brings it up with you.
    teach here, some hands on experience
    --禄 I learned when I was 9 ..





    Make fun of her.
    well, don't make fun of her
    I find that impossible to believe.


    I mean, if you go to school, you hear this stuff by the time you're 13.


    If you watch ANY TV or movies, you've seen it happen hundreds, if not thousands of times.


    And if you have friends, you've heard it all before.





    I think she's lying just so she can appear to be virginal.
    Make her repeat what she was told, see how much actually sunk in, and if shes forgotten any of it, fill in the gaps with your own hilarious version.
    have a movie night and show her more then the pg movies she has been watching, and that will explain itself
    yeah, all three.

    What is the original story of the birds and the bees?

    I know it has something to do with sex, but what do birds and bees have to do with it?What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
    Its about Acient times. Girls were the Birds( laid the eggs which means had the baby )and the men were the bees( polinated the flowers 'the women';) That is your answer!What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
    Ask your dad...my dad still hasen't given me the speech.
    good question. been wondering myself. i don't see the connection. we don't do birds and bees in this house. we speak the truth. it's just easier and less confusion.
    Ah.Now we come to the heart of your problem. No, indeed, the bee is not having sex with the bird. Or vice (pardon the pun) versa. The bees are happily doing it within their own species. Likewise the birds (singing for a reason) are breeding with their own. The phrase ';birds and bees'; is a way of communicating common, visible examples of sexual activity to illuminate the idea that all living creatures breed and propagate. The example (or synecdoche, if you will) is a means of illustrating this truth to children, or Republicans, who might not grasp it otherwise.
    I think it means intercourse

    When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?

    i think mine are getting close to that age.When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?
    I don't think there's a best time.. I think there should be open discussion as soon as possible about the differences between men and women and a progression from there... Then there's not some overwhelming crash course at a certain age.When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?
    On an age/maturity/understanding appropriate level, from the day they are born, whenever it comes up.
    my daughter is 3 and my wife and i think you should not ';baby'; children your doing them wrong by not educating them. my daughter watches the baby stories with my wife and sees how babies are born . the birth of a child is beautiful


    shes not like eww or anything she thinks its cute when the babies are born cause of their crying. i think you should tell the kids what sex is and when its ';appropriate '; to do and that nobody is allowed near them until then. hence the pervs that are out there in this world the better you educate them the better off they will be i believe.
    Teaching children about human sexuality is not making them grow up too fast- it is educating them with the correct information BEFORE they hear the wrong information from someone else! We have always told our children the correct anatomical names for body parts. My children all have learned how babies are born, where they come out of, etc... My oldest is 9 and she knows about menstrual periods and about all the changes she will be going through. That being said, we are a Christian family and also teach that the body is a beautiful thing created by God and that we should respect our bodies. It is an on-going topic. You can not just give one big ';talk'; and then leave it at that. I would say that by age 3 or 4, it should be something that is discussed on a regular basis so your child is comfortable coming to you when he or she does have questions!
    when they are old enough to understand...now a days kids are having sex at a really young age.
    When they start asking questions
    I think you should be telling them about it from the age of 4. Just increasing the amount of information to their level of understanding. Girls get pregnant and boys are sexually active at 12. Get a move on.
    ';Girls get pregnant and boys are sexually active at 12. Get a move on.'; did she really say this???? Maybe SHE was, but most 12 year olds are not!!!





    I say be open about reproduction and read books about animals and nature...how the baby is carried in the belly, nurses on the breast, etc. I told my 5 year old that the baby is carried in the mommy's belly and comes out the birth canal. When he was 8 he asked how the seed got in there, and I said daddy's body carries the seed and when they love each other and have sexual relations, he puts the seed (used real terms like semen, sperm) into her body and it fertilizes the egg.





    He's 12 now (and NOT having sex nor is thinking about it) and is very comfortable talking with us about it.
    i hate that kids seem to be growing up so fast.


    i would probably tell mine when they are starting highschool because i guess thats when they actually start learning about it.


    its a tough one though, i guess it really depends on when you think they are ready to take in that info.
    Exactly, when they start asking questions.
    When they start asking about it, when they start hearing references at school.

    Does anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?

    if they have created a hive in the wall,it can be a modest problem.


    you might see if there is a bee keeper near you that would be willing to


    cover the cost of minor construction for the bees.


    a local college or university entomology dept. may be able to help.


    extermination should be a 'last resort' scenario.


    if you had a way to harvest the honey,I'd say keep them.


    in the walls,however,they would find their way into your house.


    -not good-Does anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?
    Sure do, but since you don't it's really not something I would feel comfortable telling you to do it yourself. You don't have either the equipment nor the experience and it can be as much about carpentry as anything else.





    Check your yellow pages to see if someone does hive removal in your area. If no one specifically advertises for bees then call the exterminators.





    The killing of the bees is relatively easy. The problem come that if you kill the bees you then are left with a hive of wax and honey in your wall. This can bring lots of creatures into your home. Ants, for instance.





    If insects and such don't get the honey it can still be a problem. When summer comes, the sun shining on the side of the house can soften the wax to the extent it flows down inside the wall and you have honey leaking everywhere.





    So it can be a big mess.





    You are looking for someone who not only kills the bees, but takes off the siding and removes the wax and honey. Then fill the void and plug the hole and put everything back together.





    It's really quite involved to do it right.





    MarvDoes anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?
    If they just got there today they may be gone tomorrow. If they are there longer than that start looking to see if there is an apiaryist in your area. If you call a bug spray place they may come and kill them which is not good. Call several if you go that route til you find one that will remove them to someplace safe.
    Depending on where you live, there are people who remove bee hives for free, so they can raise the bees for honey. Try searching google to see if there is anyone in your area that will do that.
    spray them with vinegar. After a little while they should go away. Fire could get out of hand. Plus you don't need to kill them unless they are causing you major problems. We need our bees.
    Call the exterminator :D

    WHY BIRDS AND BEES FOR SEX?... like WTF?What is the story of the birds and the bees?
    birds have sex





    bees have sex








    they both start with ';B';What is the story of the birds and the bees?
    It is simply a cultural euphemism. Anyone who explains about sex and reproduction does not actually use bird and bees in their explanation. It is a polite way of saying you are going to have a talk with your child about procreation. It is rarely even done these days in that way, children learn from television, the internet or even school about these things long before most parents have 'the talk'. The phrase was most widely used in the 1940's %26amp; 50's.
    Bees don't have sex the way we do, so I dunno why they use that.





    I think dogs would be easier to talk about you catch them doing it sometimes.
    how can you explain to a Kid about sex without getting in over your head?

    Where do bumble bees go in the winter?

    In the autumn, young queens mate with male drone bees and hibernate over the winter in a sheltered area, whether in the ground or in a man-made structure. In the early spring, the queen awakens and finds a suitable place to create her colony.Where do bumble bees go in the winter?
