Hilarious! Looking forward to seeing that on YouTube.

Saw that one first, tried to find it so I could post it here and only came up with the 8 legger story. I love today! Showed a pic of a cubed egg and told the kids that they had GMO'd the hens to lay these, so they won't roll off of counters. Bought it hook, line, and sinker! |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
