BZZZ - Bees gather nectar of a blossoming apple tree at Värmvik in Västervik

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Bzzzz - I 35 km / hours they fly from flower to flower, collecting nectar, which then becomes delicious honey . The bee in the picture is a Honey bee (Apis mellifera), which found a large apple tree in blossom to collect nectar , along with his family. Bees communicate by a certain "dance" ( bidans ) that tells where nutrient-rich sources is called Pull Plants .

The image was photographed at Värmvik in Västervik.

Cowslips at Värmvik (Victory Gärde, Västervik)

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Out at Värmvik (Victory Gärde in Västervik) is a high lime content in the soil, which means that plants Cowslips feel like a fish to water. And, now, in May bloom förfullt. In the old days they used Cowslips , among other things, to make wine (oxläggevin) and the leaves used for salad. When cowslips are in G, we know that summer is near!

Swedish: Cows in Heat's manor (Victory Gärde, about 1 mil outside Västervik ) are curious animals. They always follow after me, I stay up, they stay up. I jump to, they jump to, I bend, as I did at the time of shooting, they do the same thing. Fantastic!
