Happy Mothers Day to all mothers of all kinds. Imagine the life of this mother, who lives 2-5 years and well beyond the short 5 week lifespan of her offspring, she is so busy laying 2,500 eggs a day she has no time to eat (dependant on attendant bees who feed and keep her warm or cool), leaving the hive only twice in her life, and is the center of her busy colony of over 50,000 bees! Contact me to learn about school visits and this month's theme, "Busy Honey Bees".
