June 28, 2012 - Hotel a Abeilles
 Not all bees make their own hives. Some bees need the help of these bee hotels.  Image Credit Flickr User Versinia. The hotels do not need to follow any specific design to attract the bees. The design is for the pleasure of the builder.  Image Credit Flickr User Joe Thomissen. Only a few rules must be followed. The holes need to be smooth and they need to tilt a little so they don't fill up with rain water.  Image Credit Flickr User Picture Esk. These tubes are used to make more bees. Bees oviposit their single eggs to gestate. Quote:

This is my hive. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My hive is my home. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My hive, without me, is useless. Without my hive, I am useless. I must prepare my hive. My hive and myself know that what counts in this life is not the flowers we visit, the noise of our buzzing, or the honey we make. We know that it is the stings that count. We will sting... My hive is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its depth. I will keep my hive clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

This structure is what I believe "industrial design" is all about.
It is essentially random, but still visually appealing. Well done ! |

 Say what? Bees putting dead insect bodies in for their larva to eat as they develop? Isn't there a kind of wasp that does that ... but I thought bees fed the larvae. Isn't that what the whole royal jelly thing is about, that the larva that gets royal jelly becomes a queen? Or am I completely out to lunch here? Whether or not I'm out to lunch, those hives/structures are very very cool.

Fuck a bunch of bees. I hope they all die homeless and unloved.

Bees are best enjoyed either from a thousand miles away or through their work. Like spiders.
Stupid bee sting allergy...

At first I read it as Hotel Abuela and I thought it was going to be about an old person's hospice.
Bees Rule!
