This combination of time-lapse photography and video gives viewers a truly amazing view of the intricacies of several pollinators. Hummingbirds, bats (one carrying her young!), butterflies, flies, and of course, honey bees, are brought closer than you have ever seen them.
Enjoy!
Thanks to our friend Guy Ray for sharing!

Haagen-Daz: Sweet on Bees
I love ice cream, and in the summer when the temps are soaring ice cream is all I want to eat. Generally, I'm a Blue Bell Gold Label Homemade Vanilla purchaser because it satisfies everyone in the family. But for the best strawberry ice cream ever, it's Haagen-Daz.
So, I saw on Sherri's Sweet Life a video post that I traced back to Help the Honey Bees, a site sponsored by Haagen-Daz. The free screen saver has me longing for spring, and proceeds from t-shirt sales helps fund research. A variety of informational articles and inspirational projects, such as one boy's effort to get the Boy Scouts' beekeeping merit badge reinstated are also on the site. (For an update on his efforts, read this post by blogger Robo's World.) There's information on planting a bee-friendly garden and current research going on at Penn State. If you like bees in theory more than in reality and you have some money to spend, you can get a silver, gold, or diamond-studded bee necklace from Alex Woo Jewelry.

Homemade Solutions
One of the things I like about beekeeping thus far is that people look for solutions to problems and share their experiences with others. It's a mentality of "we're all in this together," and that is rare in our day and age.
If you want to see the inventor of one of the "green" methods of pest control demonstrate the effectiveness of powdered sugar and an oil trap in dealing with the Small Hive Beetle, check out his video on YouTube!
My favorite line is, "I powdered those rascals down!" As Mark said, "Pa-paw is gettin' it DONE!"
Mr. Freeman says in the video that used cooking oil is an attractant for the beetles, so maybe now I can convince Mark to get used oil rather than buying vegetable oil. Free oil works for me!
