Exotic Wisteria Flowers To Attract Bees

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

Lots of flowers provide abundant nectar and pollen for bees. All Bees get all of their carbohydrates from floral nectar and all of their protein from floral pollen.

Bees rely on flowers to supply them with the food they need to survive. Some flowers (e.g. tomatoes) provide only pollen, the main source of protein for bees. Other flowers (e.g. clovers) provide both nectar and pollen, thus providing both protein and carbohydrates.

Wisteria is most fragrant. The blossoms abound with honey bees.

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

Begonia fulgurata, a new species discovered in northern Thailand. Begonia fulgurata resembles B. integrifolia, a widespread species in Southeast Asia, in having tubers, erect stem with hairy leaves, and a periodically dormant habit.

However, the new species is sharply distinct in its lamina densely hirsute (vs sparsely puberulous) and with maroon patches and silvery-white veins

UPDATE: JACKIE covered in snow! Everything Goes On Sunday: Exciting Bald Eagle Couple With 2 Eggs LIVE CAM

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

UPDATE: JACKIE covered in snow! Click on the LIVE CAM below.

She will be ok though. The moderators say that bald eagles are built to stand this kind of climate and still keep the eggs pretty warm and with no hatching complications. Stay tuned! HATCHING is expected next March 15th, next Monday!

Everything goes on Sunday presents you these two wonderful endangered bird species that have been nesting 2 eggs for the last 30 days, and they are only 8 days from hatching.

This is a LIVE CAM that focusses on the Bald Eagle couple and their nest with eggs. Day and night, Jackie and Shadow, female and male eagles respectively, sit on the eggs in the nest that they built on a branch of a pine tree , 144 feet high!

When I look at the nest I ask myself: how did they do it? Such a resistant nest resting on branches of a tree, and so high? It is a work of art, wisdom and bravery. I am sure you can add more in the comment section.

They are so loving to each other, to their habitat, to their soon to hatch eggs…it is wonderful to watch them live!

Shadow delivers a delicious fish to Jackie everyday… Yummy!
