Our #stinglessbees are awake! You know what that means - (they think) winter is over.
If youve ever been invited into our private backyard/green room you've probably met these gorgeous little guys. We adopted them them to help support pollination and biodiversity in the area, however next Spring we can potentially harvest some of their honey (tiny quantities, so it'll be a treasure if you get to try it).
And please don't be afraid - as the name suggests, they don't even have a stinger, so should you make them angry all they can do is try to wrestle you
