17.01.2022 One of my favorite "weeds" of the season is Daucus carota, Wild Carrot. Also known as Queen Anne's Lace, or ... BEE'S NEST!! This is a herbaceous, biennial fl...owering plant, often found in disturbed and compacted areas like roadsides, pastures, vineyards, etc. Many researchers think that this is the ancestor of all domesticated hybrid carrots. It's native to temperate regions of Europe and southwest Asia, and naturalized to North America and Australia. One of it's nicknames (Bee's Nest) comes from the fact that it's a big hit with pollinators when almost nothing else is blooming! I have observed an extraordinary diversity of bees, from tiny Hylaeus (who use it as a speed dating venue) and Lasioglossum to big ol bumbles, all over this plant. So please - let it stand! For more on it's other common name, here are some fun facts from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden: Queen Anne’s lace is related to dill and cilantro and is often referred to as wild carrot. Like the garden carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus), it is a biennial plantcompleting its life cycle in two years. During the first year, the plant remains vegetative, producing a lacy rosette of rich green leaves and a cream-colored taproot that smells just like a carrot. In its first year, the taproot is much tougher and less sweet than a cultivated carrot, but it is prized for its medicinal properties. Along with almost every other part of the plant, it has been boiled, soaked, dried, and grated over the centuries to treat everything from flatulence to skin ailments to kidney disorders to digestive problems. But beware: The plant closely resembles poison hemlock, another parsley family member. Hemlock can be distinguished from Queen Anne’s lace by the red specks on its stem. In the second year of its life cycle, Queen Anne’s lace produces the flowers that inspired its common name. Look closely at the flat, disc-shaped flower clusterscalled umbelsand you might notice a red or purple floret in the middle. It is said to resemble a drop of blood that, as legend has it, spilled when Queen Anne of Great Britain pricked her finger while tatting lace. Botanically speaking, this tiny speck of color amid a swirl of white is a bit of a mystery. Do these tiny red flowers serve as a pollen guide to attract bees and other pollinators? Or are they a functionless genetic remnant, as Darwin hypothesized? We may never know, but we’ll enjoy this delightful late-summer gift all the same.

16.01.2022 To be curious... to look closer because you want to... because it makes you feel good, hopeful and alive. Art activism is about sparking curiosity in order to i...nspire people to want (and create) change. Simply informing people about what is wrong helps, but it does not move mountains. To move a mountain, you must first and foremost REALLY want to move that mountain. Then, because it is likely going to take a while, you must embrace the process of becoming who you need to be in order to move it. #thegoodofthehive #mattwilleyartactivist #50KBees #bees #pollinators #murals #muralsofInstagram #artactivism #change #planetaryhealth #piperscornerschool #uk #socialchange

15.01.2022 The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and she leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as she found them. Saint Francis de Sales

14.01.2022 .....FOR BEES, BUTTERFLIES AND OTHER ANIMALS If you want to support insects and offer them a place of retreat in the garden, you can do so by considering a few ...points. Just start and continue with a little patience: 1.) The right plant selection When new plants are planted, make sure that the flowers of the plants offer nectar and pollen (open flowers). If possible plant regional wild flowers in addition. Pay attention to the location (sunny, shady, humid, dry). It is very good to continuously increase the diversity of plants. 2.) Create different structures Open sandy areas, stone walls or (white) dead wood in sunny places are popular nesting places for our solitary bees, which nest mainly on the ground. 3.) Avoid lamps or bright light, which can become death traps for night-active insects. 4.) Do not use chemicals or fertilizers.
