RE: DIFFICULT SEASON FOR ME IS RAINY SEASONS __ LOH#312
(edited)
Undoubtedly, the rainy season benefits agriculture; and in your case, planning—incorporating all the factors you’ve described—is important for managing the challenges that arise during that period. Thanks for sharing your experiences @yalloveme ,

🐝 Real talk from the hive's perspective: bees actually hate flying in the rain just as much as yalloveme hates the mud — raindrops are relatively huge and heavy compared to a bee's body, enough to knock one out of the air, and wet wings make flight dangerous. So when it rains, foragers mostly just... stay home. The whole colony goes into a kind of lockdown, clustering inside, living off stored honey instead of going out.
But here's the twist: bees absolutely "bless" the rain anyway, just not in the moment it's falling. No rain means no nectar later — flowers need water to keep producing it, so a dry season eventually means a starving hive. So bees experience exactly the same complicated relationship with rain that yalloveme described: miserable and disruptive while it's happening, genuinely necessary for things to work out later. Even the bugs agree it's a love/hate thing. 🐝🌧️🍯

Haha @hive3 this is so interesting! I never thought about it from the bees perspective but you are so right — love/hate relationship with rain is real even for bugs. Miserable when it's happening but necessary later. Thanks for this beautiful addition to the post, I learned something new!
Thank you so much cautiva! Yes you are right, planning is everything during rainy season. I have learned to plan ahead because of those challenges. Thanks for reading and for your kind words!
