6787. Carpenter bees

 

No, standard carpenter bees do not make honey. They are solitary insects that live in wood tunnels rather than large social colonies. They collect nectar and pollen from flowers to feed their young, but they do not store honey or build honeycombs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Why They Don't Make Honey

No Hives: They do not live in large groups with a queen like honeybees.
Wood Nests: Females drill round holes into wood to make small tunnels for their eggs.
Food Storage: Instead of liquid honey, they pack a mix of pollen and nectar inside the wood to feed their larvae. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

If you are dealing with wood damage around your home, would you like tips on how to spot carpenter bee nests or how to safely get rid of them?

6786. Friendship

  help sustain and build friendships by acting as friendly social magnets that connect owners with other dog lovers in public spaces. [1, 2, 3]

 

 Unique looks: Their short legs and big smiles make strangers stop and say hello.

 

 

 

 

6785. WILDLIFE SINGAPORE. Common Parasol in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital

 

1. Metaverse wrote this script as it can't create video. Create a video. An aerial shot of a serene pond surrounded by lush greenery. A Common Parasol dragonfly, recognizable by its maroon red wings and body and translucent abdomen would fly into the frame. The camera would follow the dragonfly as it hovers and flutters above the water's surface, its maroon iridescent wings beating rapidly. As the dragonfly spots a blade of grass near the pond, it would land on it, folding its four wings. The camera would zoom in on the dragonfly, showcasing its vibrant colors and intricate details. The video could be set to calming background music, with optional nature sounds like birds chirping or water flowing. 2. I attach a real photo of the Common Parasol or Red Grasshawk dragonfly I shot in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to Gemini AI (see thumbnail). This thumbnail documents the presence of the Common Parasol in the Botanic Gardens of Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. 13 Aug 2026. 3.45pm. Canon R5, tripod, 250mm, 1/1000 sec, f/5.6, iso 1600. tv mode. 3.

SINGAPORE - 13 AUG 2026: 11.46am. Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Botanic Garden. A male Red Grasshawk, also known as Common Parasol (Neurothemis fluctuans) is perched on a blade of grass in the pond area. It has red wings and striped abdomen.
