Hi Mayonnaise Bees,
I do like bees (I guess you do too with your name?)
You probably know that bees are really important for us because they pollinate plants and crops like fruit and vegetables. Without bees we might not have enough to eat, and that’s why I like bees 🙂

Hi Mayonaise Bees,
Bees are pretty cool as everyone loves honey, you’re right there. Bees also pollinate a lot of plants and crops, as hannah said, so the fact bees are becoming less in number is certainly worring!
But wasps are useful too! Wasps eat bugs which eat crop plants like caterpillars and weevils. In fact some farmers ship in certain wasps to eat the bugs which are chomping on their crops.
Maybe not as cool as bees, but pretty useful.Oli

Hi Mayonnaise Bees
Yes bees are really cool (and I’m slightly scared of wasps!). Did you see this research from scientists at Queen Mary’s University showing that bees can learn difficult skills?

Hi Mayonnaise Bees,
Why yes i do! I have a friend who is studying how bees and wasps socialise for his PhD…. here is a link to an article that he wrote about why you shouldn’t squash wasps! 🙂

Hi,
I love bees!
I studied live bees in the university and I fell in love with them instantly.
They don’t sting if you know how to treat them and they make so many amazing products, apart from honey!!Eleni
