A post for National Honey Bee Day that was on August 15!
This is my Spring Honey Bee inspired by https://thehoneybeeconservancy.org/ articles on Planting a bee Garden and Grassroots Gardening: 21 Flowers that Attract Bees (links below). There are so many different domesticated sub varieties of honey bees with their own origins and characteristics. With my Spring Honey Bee, I have only scratched the surface by just focusing on Spring blooming flowers. Spring blooming flowers found in my design to consider adding to your garden are Borage, Calendula, Crocus, Hyacinth, Pansy, Pussy Willow, Siberian Squill, and Wild Lilacs (my drawing is a close up picture of the flower). When creating a bee garden, the bee conservation's articles encourage planting flowers that bloom during different seasons for continuous sources of food for bees. You can also create a Bee Bath by putting fresh water in a shallow container with rocks and sticks for the bees to land on.

7 day challenge Day 7: Blanford’s Fox for @etherealwhisper89 on Instagram.
This final fox is a "true" vulpes genus fox. Only a few inches larger than the length of a fennec fox, Blanford’s fox is found in altitudes up to 2000 meters in the mountains, steppes, and semiarid areas of Israel, Afghanistan, and most other middle eastern countries. They have hairless feet and curved claws that help with climbing and jumping in the rocky steep slopes. They are omnivores but have been reported to eat more fruits (like grapes and melons) than other foxes. 7 day challenge Day 6: Ruppell’s Fox for @etherealwhisper89 on instagram.
A “true” vulpes genus fox, Ruppell’s fox, aka Ruppell’s sand fox, is found from northern Africa to the Arabian Peninsula to Pakistan and lives in deserts of sand and stone. Like the Fennec fox, the Ruppell’s fox has fur on its feet to help protect it from sand and its ears emit the heat from its body. They compete for resources with the red fox. They are omnivores and depending on where they live, their diet can vary from eating mostly insects to small mammals, birds, and lizards. Grass, desert succulents, dates and other fruit. |
