Caption: This morning the bumblebees were out. I love being buzzed by them. Here’s a cute traveler, love the shopping bags of pollen. (I added a filter).

Loved listening to @paulstamets podcast on @timferriss and wanted to give you a reminder to let wood rot in your efforts to #savethebees.

Here in Nicaragua there is a bad cycle of burning the jungle floor and wood piles. I’m guessing in addition to removing places for mycelium to grow (medicine for bees), it kills mycelium networks in the soil. All of this contributes to leaf-cutter ants taking over. A daily struggle. I want to try the recommendation from Paul of a specific mycelium.

A few years ago, I found my bees digging in to mycelium networks under the wood chips after hearing Paul speak to our beekeeper association. It was an amazing sight to see.

Grab my seasonal bee-friendly planting book to support your neighborhood bees (link in bio). When you plant be sure to add mycelium (mycorrhizae powder) and wood chips as mulch cover to protect disturbed soil. ????????
