The Waggle Dance communicates to other hive mates where there is a good place to find food. It communicates what direction the food is. The Waggle Dance is used when bees need to describe food sources farther distances from the hive over 40 yards. keepingbackyardbees.com/the-…

One honey bee visits 50-100 flowers each trip & can harvest several thousand flowers in a day, making 12 or more trips, gathering pollen or nectar from a single floral species each. It takes about 556 worker bees to gather 1 pound of honey. apexbeecompany.com/honey-bee…

Local Food Week starts Monday! All across Ontario, farmers, food businesses, and communities are getting ready to celebrate the incredible food grown and made right here at home. Whether it’s fresh produce, locally raised meats, Ontario-made products, or a favourite farmers’ market find, there are so many ways to support local this week. 📸 We want to see what local looks like to you! Share your photos, meals, market visits, and local finds using #loveONfood Let’s celebrate Ontario food together all week long. #ONTAg #CdnAg #LocalFoodWeek #SupportLocal

As part of Local Food Week, we will be sharing some tools to assist folks with understanding the impact of local food procurement, current policies that support these decisions, and how procurement practices can prioritize Ontario grown, raised or processed food.

Kicking off Local Food Week with World Milk Day 🥛 Today, we’re celebrating the farmers and food businesses who help bring fresh, local food to our tables every day. Ontario dairy farmers work year-round to produce high-quality milk while caring for their animals and the land. From a glass of milk to cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, dairy is an important part of many meals enjoyed across the province. As Local Food Week gets underway, it’s a great time to support Ontario food and celebrate the people behind it. 📸 Share your local food favourites using #loveONfood #WorldMilkDay #LocalFoodWeek #ONTAg #CdnAg #SupportLocal

This is not just beekeeping. This is relationship. This is restoration. This is people and pollinators learning to thrive together again.

Honey bees feed the world 🐝🍯 On #WorldHungerDay, remember: bees handle ~80% of insect pollination and support about 1/3 of our diet. From fruits and nuts to livestock feed, managed pollination helps put food on our tables. #SaveTheBees Learn more: buff.ly/WruSJ9K

🐝 5 benefits of sustainable beekeeping 👇 #WorldBeeDay #SaveTheBees

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
