The groundbreaking vaccine aims to limit the damage to bee colonies caused by foulbrood. The disease, for which there is currently no cure, develops from the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, which can weaken and destroy colonies. It is the most severe, problematic and challenging of all the diseases that may affect a colony. In some areas of the US, the disease has affected one in four hives. Beekeepers are forced to dismantle and burn any infected colonies and use antibiotics to limit the spread. There are millions of beehives all over the world, and they don’t have a good health care system compared to other animals. Now, a pioneering vaccine hopes to quell the disastrous effects of foulbrood disease. Before you start imagining a tiny syringe being inserted into a bee (which is exactly what I imagined for the illustration), the vaccine which contains dead versions of Paenibacillus larvae, the bacterium that causes American foulbrood — comes in the form of food. The vaccine is incorporated into royal jelly, a sugar feed given to queen bees. Once they ingest it, the vaccine is then deposited in their ovaries, giving developing larvae immunity as they hatch. “Our vaccine is a breakthrough in protecting honeybees,” said Annette Kleiser, chief executive of Dalan Animal Health. “We are ready to change how we care for insects on a global scale.” Source: New York Times (link in bio) #bee #savethebees #science https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0AwuBrANe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Long time no post! How is everyone??? I moved!

The bees are *mostly* alright based on my most recent “checkup” and I’m only down one and a half colonies that I knew were already weak. One of them I suspect was taken out due to a leak in the lid that made the wood damp and less insulating. They must have left very early in the season because the bottom of the hive was FULL of wax moth cocoons and eggs and cockroach poop and all kinds of nastiness. I scraped it out and didn’t see any sign of lasting mold on the wood though so it mustn’t have been too damp.

The other four langs are doing just dandy as well. All have enough bees in them to show activity at 50f and overcast so they’re apparently healthy. Already bringing in pollen too!

The super hive seems to be doing incredibly well also! They have propolized up the front of the hive in what I can only presume is an effort to manage air flow and the openness of the entrance. Since I seldom ever check the front 10 frames I suppose that’s alright, though if they are to abscond it will be a chore to get those frames out.

As mentioned, I did move! The bees are still at my old bee yard, but my new place has a nice open yard that I can put them in so I’ll be moving them soon hopefully. I’m setting up bee benches according to a guide I found on YouTube that is all metal and can be adjusted/moved as necessary, because the yard is unlevel everywhere. I tested several positions on each side with my full weight and they seem to hold up quite well. Though I think I may need to adjust some of them because I may have overdone the forward slope a bit. You can really see how uneven the yard is, since the benches are level.

A bee I drew for the Beecarbonize contest. Beecarbonize is a really cool strategy card game about ecology. You can play it entirely free on steam! Can recommend. (Also, I know I said I won't be uploading stuff here anymore. Well all other socials seem like AI hell rn so why not also post here. Bear with me pls).

Creating a buzzworthy haven for our pollinator pals 🐝🌼 Provide Nesting Sites: Many native bee species are solitary, and they nest in the ground, hollow stems, or other small cavities. Leave some areas of your garden with undisturbed soil or create nesting structures, such as bee hotels, to support these bees.

The bees are back! Miking our thana blooms.
