Solitary bees’ future nest : Weekly Photo Challenge : Perspective

20140309-224719.jpg

This week-end I took my two “eldest” daughters (6 and 9 years old) to a great event the re-skill at the do-it-yourself festival.

We were really lucky, sun was shining, people were welcoming and sharing. It was as you would say in French une ambiance bonne enfant. It was indeed very pleasant.

We had among other things, the privilege to learn about solitary bees, 800 species, as opposed to the one,  very known that produces the honey we eat, “every day”.

We even learned about a very glamorous bee, that lifts up her tooshie, while she drinks from the flower, and cuts pieces of the flower’s petal to cover her babies! I just remembered her nickname “Betty boop”. Karine Devot, the women who was presenting the work shop, was kind enough after my post publication to remind me of her name: the Betty boop bee is called the megachile.

Karine Devot can be described as a very inspired woman. Her contact details are the following:

If you are in the region, Luxembourg, Belgium or near by in France or Germany, do not hesitate to contact her. She speaks  French and English well and will show you Nature as you may never have seen before.

Anyhow, she made for our herb spiral this gorgeous bee nest you can see in the above picture! Giving both a pretty visual perspective, and a happy future perspective to host new bees to keep up the pollinating of our vegetables, fruits and flowers. In brief to participate in the cycle of life.

Wishing you a good evening.

About Hopeje

It’s all about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m a French-American woman from Paris — born with a suitcase in hand and a heart open to adventure. I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant energy of New York and Miami, visiting every year for a few weeks to recharge on their rhythm, sunshine, and sense of freedom. Who would have thought that life would take me to Luxembourg — where I would find, lose, and find myself again? There, I met the love of my life, built a family with three wonderful children, and traveled… endlessly. (Let’s not forget our loyal dog, who became part of our journey in 2013, and our second furry companion who joined us nearly three years ago!) From Paris to New York, Luxembourg to Miami — traveling has become our middle name. What I love most is discovering the poetry and energy of life wherever I go: architecture, people, customs, places, and the unique atmosphere that makes each encounter unforgettable. Life is a story of movement, emotion, and discovery. Let’s keep exploring, dreaming, and savoring every moment. PS: All content on this blog is shared with pleasure — but it is not free of rights.
