Wild bees are building their homes from plastic—and scientists aren’t

Now , about the plastic . The article postulated they're using it for a
barrier , maybe from airborne toxins ? This doesn't directly apply to
Apis Mellifera , the common honeybee , but it is important in that it
involves a native pollinator . A situation that bears watching .

to the mess humans have made of this world.
"Both studies noted that more research needs to be done before
scientists can outline the potential impact plastic might have on bees,
but the nest building shows that bees are highly adaptive to changing
environments. In both places, leaves were readily available as a
building material."
So, they had natural materials but chose the plastic. How do they break
it down into usuable form for a hive?
“It would demonstrate the adaptive flexibility that certain species of
bees would have in the face of changes in environmental conditions”.
"Adaptive flexibility". Definitely. Sounds to me like they're
recycling. Only further study and time will tell about the hives. Not
to sound flip, but it also sounds like the bees are trying to build a
better condo. :D

itself . Look at them as sharecroppers ... they aren't slaves , they can
leave any time they wish - and some of them have , taking their queen
with them ! The funny thing is that those escapees have begun
repopulating this area with bees . Many people near us have commented on
how nice it is to see bees here again . There haven't been any for many
years - about the time varroa mites arrived in this area the "native"
(actually technically feral) bees disappeared . And ya know what ? There
has been an exponential increase in wild flowers in the vicinity since
we brought bees in . That benefits many species of both insect and small
animal life . I think taking a little honey is only fair compensation
for the improvements to the ecology of our little micro-climate .

Favorite steak dinner here with me and daughter was:
- Medium rare steak
- salty fries (the thin 'shoestring' kind)
- fresh pile of corn, cut off cob and with a bit of butter.
- mushrooms and onion briefly cooked in the deglazed
pan of steak juice. Deglazed with water and butter,
then cooked down to eliminate most of the water.
I also bought a pound of fresh ground sirloin steak once
at Fresh Market. Best burgers I ever made.
