"For centuries, we believed 'you are what you eat' was the only rule for making a queen bee. Our study rewrites that rule to say 'you are where you live, too...."

A diet of royal jelly isn't the only thing that makes a queen beeβ€”it's her environment, as well

Lemon Beebalm is one of few wildflowers in bloom at Kirby as we pass the peak of wildflower season. A member of the mint family, this species is also called Lemon Mint or Horse Mint. The leaves have a distinct citrus or lemony scent when crushed. Bees and butterflies are attracted to the clusters or whorls of flowers as a source of nectar. I love "bee friendly" wildflowers!

Village Creek has 7 of the woodpecker 8 species common in East Texas. How cool is that?

Temperatures may be starting to increase, but so are the frogs! 🐸 As the weather gets warmer, more green tree frogs are coming out to soak up the sun. 🌞 Frogs, like all amphibians, are ectothermic, and rely on environmental sources of heat to regulate their internal body temperature. πŸ”₯ Look carefully for green tree frogs camouflaging in the reeds as you're exploring the boardwalk at the wetland! πŸ’š
