There are over 20,000 species of bee found across the world, of which over 90% are wild. The honeybee, known as Apis mellifera, can forage from up to 15 flowers a minute and pollinate close to 170,000 different species of plant. A true wonder of nature.
藝術家用幽默漫畫的方式詮釋了為什麼我們要開啟獨居蜂旅館計劃的初衷。
全世界都在擔心蜜蜂消失的問題，越來越多人把蜜蜂當成寵物在飼養，不停地從各處引進蜜蜂。但，大多數人沒有想過的是，你引入的每一箱蜜蜂對於現階段的城市來說他可能都是一個相當強力的外來生物。我們都忘記原來的環境裡其實有上百種的原生蜂類同樣在這為數不多的綠地裡與蜜蜂搶食僅有的食物。所以利用獨居蜂旅館或是改善環境棲地才會是一個相對友善幫助原生授粉者的方法唷！
🤓漫畫裡的小問題：漫畫中，畫家所用的原生蜂種為熊蜂，她一樣是社會性的蜂。但其實這張圖在台灣比較不適用，因為台灣熱得要死，台灣的熊蜂基本上多在較高的海拔生活，與蜜蜂直接對衝的機會不高，反而是原生的獨居蜂有非常大的比例是與蜜蜂共域生活的。我們光是頂樓蜜蜂花園裡一個夏天就可以看到超過十種的獨居蜂了誒，很驚人吧！😎
I wanted to do something a little more serious today... Native pollinators mean a lot to me! Please PLEASE save your native species of bees, wasps, and other pollinators, they are the ones that really truly need it!
Entomological basis for the comic: Apis mellifera, the Western honeybee, is not native to the United States or in fact most of the planet, but they are a hugely economically valuable farmed species, so they are everywhere! In the US alone there are around 3 million hives registered with the USDA, with 20-80,000 members per hive, the species is in no way in trouble. Nor do they pollinate all of the food we eat. They are useful in pollinating some crops, especially large scale monoculture farms. However many many wild species of bee, wasp, butterfly, etc that are pollinators, are in serious trouble. Bombus affinis, in North America, is now listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. Please try and plant native wildflowers, build bee hotels, and use a lot less pesticides to help out native species, they need the help more!
bee在小琉球。
.
我：我們要去哪咧？
小秋海龜：我知道一個地方可以吃好料，跟我來！
揪～～竟，小秋帶我去了哪呢？請看下回分曉（大誤）！🤣🤣🤣
.
小琉球的海龜真的好可愛喔噢喔噢喔噢喔噢！！！這隻叫做小秋的海龜，居然一直不停的往我這暴衝，一直磨蹭我們，似乎想帶我們去哪裡！似乎她以前被餵食過所以見到潛水員就會一直靠近。希望她不要哪天遇到壞人啊～～～😰😰😰
.
所以！！請大家千萬不要餵食野生動物！不然他們會失去該有的警覺心和獵食能力。像小秋一樣，已經有點不正常了.... 綠蠵龜是保育類，是禁止餵食會罰款的喔！！！！🐢🐢🐢
.
我們一起去翱翔大海吧～～～～🐢🐢🐢

Meanwhile bee in Little Liuqiu.
.
bee: Where are we going?
Little Cho: I know of a place where we can get yummy food. Follow me!
Soooooo, where did Little Cho and bee go in the end? Please stay tuned! j/k🤣🤣🤣
.
The turtles in Little Liuqiu are soooooo cute!!! This turtle named Little Cho constantly swam into me and touched us, seems like she wanted to take us somewhere! Rumors have it that she was fed by people before so she acquired a habit of swimming into a diver when she sees one. Hope she won't meet someone who has wrong intentions~~~~~~😰😰😰
.
Please don't feed any wild animals!! They will lose their sense of caution and feeding ability. Like Little Cho, her habits are not normal.... Green turtles are protected species so feeding them is NOT allowed and will be fined!!🐢🐢🐢
.
Let's go on an incredible journey together~~~~~~~🐢🐢🐢
