DoomsdaysCWThe bees learning to fight off invasive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hornets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hornets</a>9 February 2024 Katherine Latham"The buff-tailed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bumblebee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bumblebee</a>, one of Europe's most common bumblebee species, is adapting to fight back – thanks to a remarkably successful defence strategy it already has in their evolutionary arsenal. "The tactic is simple: when attacked, the bumblebees drop to the ground, taking the hornets down with them. This either causes the hornet to lose its grip, or the bee raises its sting and tussles until the hornet gives up."The buff-tailed bumblebee did not evolve alongside Asian hornets – their native predators include badgers, birds, wasps and spiders – so O'Shea-Wheller describes this as 'an evolutionary coincidence'. " 'This defence that already works against their natural predators also works against the hornets,' he says. European honeybees, on the other hand, have no such 'co-evolved system' to protect themselves from these new predators." <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240206-the-bees-learning-to-fight-off-invasive-hornets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240206-the-bees-learning-to-fight-off-invasive-hornets</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHugger" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BeeHugger</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHuggah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BeeHuggah</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bumblebees</a>

It might be seventy or eighty,' said Michael Knight."On Thursday, Andrew MacDonald of Bee Huggah came to Smiling Hill Farm to safely relocate the bees from the farmhouse."'I believe that these bees are worth saving for a number of different reasons,' MacDonald said. 'They have medicinal value and they pollinate our crops.'"MacDonald moved the bees to a hive outside of the farmhouse."<a href="https://www.wmtw.com/article/maine-smiling-hill-farmhouse-large-beehive-removed/62284417" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.wmtw.com/article/maine-smiling-hill-farmhouse-large-beehive-removed/62284417</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHuggah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BeeHuggah</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SaveTheBees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveSmilingHillFarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SaveSmilingHillFarm</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Pollinators</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a>
