This cute little beetle ran as fast as he could to the underside of a grape leaf when he saw me.
Made a cage. Screen mesh sides with a sliding acrylic door.
I made a post a while ago about 6 or so egg sacs we found. Not sure if they’re viable. Here’s to hoping something will emerge!
So I made a post prior about growing these. I nail clipped some, i soaked them All in a jar of water, them i decided to put them in wet paper towel in a ziploc bag. And they grew without cold stratification like some of you said they would!!
This is what they look like now.
But what do I do next? Let them grow more or put them in the dirt now?
Additionally, it was a 50/50 chance they germinated. More germination came from the unnclipped seeds. I have more clipped seeds without germination than the ones I left alone once all were to soaking.
I’ve gotten them this far…
Also to note, my bell pepper I grew under same conditions, isn’t doing anything….. no germination observed. Can anyone tell me why?
Also, how long till I put them in something bigger?
That weather maker needs to get his heads out of the clouds and focus….
First time thing to grow these! Any advice appreciated
At a park. Lots of these guys flying around. He was banded while others were not.
No pay wall and it’s a good read!
I noticed some bumblebees in my font yard this warm weather, flying around. We don’t spray away our dandelions and we don’t exactly always pick up the leaf litter in the fall time.
But we will be cutting grass more often now with the warmer weather.
I want to protect the bumblebee nests in our yard if we have any.
Is there a chance we have bumblebee nests anywhere? Or do bumblebees travel far from their nests to find food (ie our dandelions)
Any tips on how to find their home?
Can I make a box for a bumblebee to nest in?
How cold is too cold? Midwest temperatures are so erratic. First time growing anything, ever.
Found this grow light on clearance last year when I accidentally grew sweet potoato slips in fall time that I kept alive all winter season on my window sill. I just transplanted them to these above ground style bags but our temperatures are too all over the place, risking rot to the baby potatoes.
So now they’re back inside 🤦🏻♀️
I have no idea what I’m doing beyond googling my stumbling points.
