How often do we fact-check before assigning jobs? At times, we may overlook the unique strengths of individuals and assume that certain skills are interchangeable. For instance, we may assume that a tortoise and a turtle are the same, given their similar appearances. However, these animals have evolved differently over time, with sea turtles being able to glide through deep waters and tortoises thriving on land. This highlights the importance of fact-checking and knowing the unique abilities of each individual. Let's strive for adaptability and talent mapping in our workplace. #officeTales #knowstrengths #adaptability #factchecks #storyimpacts #KasyHRTales #talentmapping

🐝 Facts about bees are endlessly fascinating. These incredible creatures never fail to captivate scientists with their unique behaviors and remarkable adaptations. 💫 Over millions of years, bees have developed the most sophisticated visual systems, enabling them to search for food, navigate their environment, and avoid hazards with precision. A close-up photograph of a bee's eye captivates us, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of nature—a reminder worth cherishing. 🤓 Discover even more intriguing insights during our educational sessions. With summer approaching, seize the opportunity to explore bees up close. Our seminars and educational programs cater to schools, groups, and team-building activities. https://lnkd.in/dTZtymPX #bees #beekeeping #nature #honey #bitesmieste #urbanbeekeeping #TeamBuilding #teambuilding

Starting a new series with small snippets of bee knowledge - hence "Bee Snippets". Starting with this minuscule bumblebee worker. Yes, it's a bumblebee, a tree bumblebee worker, to be precise. 𝘉𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮, as she's named scientifically. The variation in size in bumblebees is especially striking in spring. The first bumblebees you will see are queens - which are very big. The first generation of workers, on the other hand, can be very small. Like the little tree bumblebee in the video. The reason for this is easy: Every bumblebee species has a typical size range. They're smaller and bigger species. In addition, it also depends on the food they get. Bumblebees (and all insects) grow only during their larval stage. The size they hatch as adults won't change anymore. So, the more food they get during their development, the larger they will be. The first generation of workers is more at risk to get only little food. This is because the mother - i.e. the queen - has to do all the jobs by herself in spring. She's the only one to overwinter. She then has to search for a nesting place, build the nest, feed the larvae, and keep them warm. As long as she is a single mother, it may be that she feeds them enough to hatch perfectly healthy. They're just a little... tiny. #BeeKnowledge #BeeSafe

BEES and TREES | Female bee emerges | Part 11 | Video 10 | 29th June 2024 This is getting a bit complicated we know, but for those that are following our series of posts, in this one we see after video 9, the full emergence of the female bee. Thanks as ever to Lisa for some footage to share and I'll do my best to explain exactly what's happening in this post. Creating the environment for the bees:- Video 1; On 29th March they installed the apiary, some thing we attached in the post of that time. Video 2; was one with some sad news about bee hive 1 on 25th April. Video 3; 9th May we showed a solution to save our first hive which was in danger of being lost as there wasn't a queen bee. So with the aid of newspaper, we were attempting a merge of hive 1 with hive 2. Video 4; 16th May where we were able to see success in the merging of the hives. Video 5; also 16th May - our slow motion special which focussed on the entrance to the hive Video 6; 11 frames for the bees with a dummy board, Video 7; the workers made it look amazing, stunning in fact, but the naughty workers moved the play area! Video 8; we saw something amazing, the queen in amongst many other bees. Video 9; in the middle of the screen we see a young female emerging. And so to video 10; her 15 minute journey after de-capping is visible, she's emerged with what look like tiny little eyes, they're no smaller than her sisters but are covered in some fluff. That will gradually deplete. She is getting a clean up from her sisters, some attention, effectively a pamper session, then on to find some food, and to begin life as a female worker bee.

“It’s really hard to imagine you as a farm girl in wellies…” is what one of my work colleagues said to me. But I’ve always been a farm girl, long before I was known for my wardrobe & collection of stilettos. 👠 I had the pleasure of growing up surrounded by animals, and still am to this day, and my bringing up has a great deal to do with my strengths at work today but I didn’t make the connection until later in life… It was a few years ago, upon hearing how polar bears were starting to climb trees and turn vegetarian, I first asked the question, “why?” And after writing the stories that interested me most, and understanding why individuals pursued the careers they did and how it could all be linked to a certain spark— a certain moment in time forever imprinted on them, I then began to wonder, “why was I good at the things I was good at? “ That’s when I began to connect the dots to my bringing up. It was growing up on a farm where I first learned responsibility and developed stamina and a hard work ethic. It was taking care of a variety of animals where I developed the ability to multitask. It was sometimes taking care of our farm alone where I developed time management skills, how to analyze how long specific tasks would take me and how to prioritize. It was there I learned and implemented process management and became quicker at completing tasks. And it was growing up on a farm, where anything can happen at any given time, I first developed and excelled my problem solving skills and learned to become innovative, and calm minded in the midst of a crisis. All my best qualities & skills today, can be directly linked to growing up on a farm… the same little farm you see a glimpse of in the video below. Taken this weekend when we moved our chickens & ducks to their summer quarters. So I ask you, I know why I’m good at the things I’m good at, do you know why you’re good at what you do or why you chose the career path you did? #foodforthought #ministories #farmgirl #executiveassistant #skillset #strengths #problemsolving #processmanagement #timemanagement #multitasking #prioritization #mystory

Cockatiel! People love them but, why is their lifespan so short? Do you know their mating and overall reference and the exact way to differ between male and female ones? Do you know their personality traits, the season when they tend to mate? Do you know why Australian Cockatiel's mating preference is different compared to the rest of the species? So, Cockatiels live only for.... https://lnkd.in/dh83Ykw4

What happens when you move bees in the winter? What does it entail and how much work is involved? Find out by watching this video: https://bit.ly/3S4oCcf #foxhoundbeeco #beekeeping #beekeepingtips

need help in identifying this poacher

No single honeybee can live on its own for very long. While the collective hive could live forever, the individual bees are mortal, and they depend on each other to survive. https://bit.ly/3V7w1cI #foxhoundbeeco #beekeeping #beekeepingtips

In the summer, worker bees work hard gathering nectar and usually live about 6 weeks due to their busy, demanding tasks. But in winter, they slow down, conserve energy, and focus on keeping the hive warm, allowing them to live up to 6 months. Their longer winter lifespan helps the colony survive until spring!
