Seasons, seasons of year or years without age

  • The seasons condition the life cycle of the bee. Life time, work and seasonal rest.

The hive starts to work with spring warming: the heat of the sun causes the beginning of the flowers, which awaken the hive and the foods of the time. Spring is the exciting bee season, ending the cold of winter and giving rise to nature. Flowers and trees dressed in colours that, like us, leave aside the dark winter clothes.

Then it comes to summer, a hot season and a summer before... Heat and sun stop blooms, sleeping spring green pastures, as our white skin usually reddens. The flowers stop pouring the nectar, causing drought for the bees, the bee starts to run out of food and detects lack of water.

Bees waited for the fall to spend the summer and many of us waiting for the grasses and the environment to cool down. In spring the flowers, full of color, were already formed to become fruits.

Waiting for fall, for fall, and not for rain, or at the end of summer. The bees didn't know where to feed, because there was no fruitful bloom that had to be at the time. We were also involved, we didn't know how to adapt to the time. Others, on the other hand, did not end up enjoying summer.

By the fall the first rains needed for the cycle of nature to continue, prune the fruits on the ground, root the seeds and awaken the autumn flowers. The bees in the fall flower, when they had to prepare for the winter, they didn't have time to prepare, they were still in an unfinished summer.

Boom! It was high time the winters appeared. Bees sleep, rest, survive through year-round work.

The cold of winter is over, it has tempered and the flowers are underway. New summer, like the old, dry! Only Acacia has thanked.

We do not know from now on. At the moment we jump over the two stations and it seems that we are in the middle of summer. The lack of rainfall will lead to a further drying of the banks.

This is no coincidence, we are guilty of something!

Ill-treatment for emanation
The winter pruning is on top, here comes the time to judge, to make judgments: the sentence. We have had the epilogue for a long time and pruning work is done at any time and in any way, including terrible crimes.

Three characters to become a bee
The birth of the hive begins with the laying of a covered queen. Here too, if the egg or the queen was the first…

Dear technician of the department of agriculture...
In the primary sector, it is observed that problems are increasing: climate crisis, pollution, high prices of raw materials or difficulties of access to land… Those of us who want to live on it know what there is, we know that the sector is getting more complicated, but they... [+]

Hives over here
A special phenomenon is that of bees, a natural process that guarantees the survival of bees. The temperate climate causes exuberant blooms and the prosperity of the blooms causes the "emancipation" of the bees.
