The Bee Guy
@the_beeguy
Founder World Bee Sanctuary and the first native wild bee sanctuary on earth - The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. The only Certified Vegan Organic land in Ireland.
Been on here for a while now but never really introduced myself. Maybe it should be thing if it’s not - we might be kinder to each other. So here goes. I’m the Bee Guy - the founder of the first true native wild bee sanctuary on the planet - The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. 1/n
More types of #flowers = more #diversity of traits in urban #bees. More flowers = more diversity! What a lovely concept. Grow flowers folks. Many flowers! As diversity is resilience. And by jingo do we need resilience now. Early by the way! Just keeping you vigilant. #FOMB Fear…
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 164 Research suggests urban #bumblebees are more phenotypically diverse as there is a greater RANGE of flowers available in urban areas and #bees developing more diversity of traits gives the colony more options when foraging.

It’s #Friday folks! Have the best #weekend you can. You know the drill: Be #kind Be #gentle Be #true Be like #bees Don’t be part of the world order that sits by as #children die of purposely contrived #starvation. I’m looking at you USA. Right fucking at ya! Israel’s bitch.
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 165 Although flowering meadowland/open habitat is the predominant landscape associated with #bumblebees and #bees the vital role that #forests, woodland and #trees may play in the bee life cycle should not be underestimated.

Top Meadow here on World Bee Sanctuary was stunning today. Alive, moving and humming. An abundance of #bees, #butterflies, #hoverflies and #birds. This is what a healthy #ecosystem and #planet looks and sounds like. And it’s so fucking simple folks. It’s shameful this isn’t the…
There’s always one crazy fucker…even in bee world. Wait for it… Wait for it… Yep! You’re busy foraging on a leek flower, minding your own, when out of nowhere Red Arse crashes in all chaos then gone in an instant - leaving you impressed or annoyed or a little bit of both…😊…
Bee Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep. ‘Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams, whatever they be Dream a little dream of bees…’ #bee #goodnight #dream
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 163 Research suggesting urban #bumblebees are smaller than their country cousins proposes that this difference in size is down to availability of resources and ‘urban warming’. Less food and warmer environment = smaller #bees.
Bee ‘…and goodnight to the street sweepers the night watchman flame keepers and goodnight Matilda, too…’ Dream we told the truth. To ourselves. To others. To power. #bee #goodnight #dream
Bumblebee. Spider. Nature. A hard watch when you’re The Bee Guy though. Anytime you want Spider-Man. Anytime. Any place. 🐝🕷️😔 #TeamBee #bumblebee #spider #nature #biodiversity #crabspider #spiderman
phenotype: the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences. Just in case.😊 Take it easy folks. #bees #science
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 162 A study in Switzerland focusing on two species of #bumblebee commonly found throughout Europe suggests that ‘City Bumblebees’ are smaller but more phenotypically diverse than their ‘Country Bumblebee’ cousins. #bees #nature

Bee ‘Closing time, you don't have to go home But you can't stay here…’ Goodnight folks. Dream amongst the stars they can’t even see. #bee #goodnight #dream
Meet Billy Elliot! The first of this year’s Barn Owl fledglings to venture out of the nest box here on World Bee Sanctuary. Barn Owls have been here since we came along - we’ve always just taken their presence for granted and let them get on with it but we installed a nest box in…
Early! It’s Monday you see! And a week full of possibility inspires. The possibility that decency and love could prevail. The possibility that genocide would end. The possibility that billionaires would end. The possibility that we would stop fighting each other and start…
#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 161 # 160 contd. Research found that in hotter and wetter years #bees had higher wing asymmetry meaning higher stress. So #climate change bringing more hotter/wetter years will mean ever more stress on #bumblebees going forward.

Here’s a #MondayMorningMinute with #nature here on World Bee Sanctuary. Take a moment. #pause Go do some #good. Have the best week you can. If you’re not having a good week - tell someone. And if someone tells you - Listen. Really #listen. #mentalhealth #wellbeing #bees
Bee Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep. Dream genocide wasn’t acceptable to our legislators. Wasn’t normalised by complicit media. Dream starving people weren’t executed by cowards as they queue for morsels. Dream objecting to it wasn’t a crime. #bee #goodnight #dream
