Photoshopped!

Or even a sparse chimp.

This is probably absconding. The bees have probably joined an absconding swarm. There is a discussion about this on a French list at the moment.

Probably even get men in white coats chasing after you. "They are coming to take me away, hehe haha!"

Oh how virginal!

There are many listed in Beowulf Cooper's book.

One of the best ones is: "Keep working w****rs, the palace has running costs to cover". Of course translated from Greek.

Yes Vespa orientalis, want some? I can send you hundreds.......

OK fine. I thought that there might be another reason.

Why do you want to know?

No doubt some of our bees as we have an apiary just down the road. The colonies in the photos have probably been taken to the area for carob, the tree in photo is a carob, it produces abundant nectar and pollen at this time of the year. The asian hornet does not occur in Crete. The problem...

Honey contains many "foreign" substances that are not on the label, sodium benzoate is probably one of them. As I mentioned above, it all depends on the level present if actually poses a threat to human health. It might interest you to learn that antibiotic residues can be leached from beeswax...

Wether it is dangerous to human health all depends on levels detected and it is calculated on the average daily intake. Level of detection is usually 10PPB! It is very low.

These would be your supereconomic AMM type of bees then.

Second photo is carob (Ceratonia siliqua), there are male and female trees. The male trees give abundant pollen and nectar. It has a very characteristic smell........

What has Cooper got to do with you not understanding the difference between species and subspecies?

OH I give up with you! Still can't figure out the species status.

Most of the original lines are available from a breeder in Denmark. Not Brandstrup by the way.
