Last night Ruben left to Bakersfield to check on his honeybees. For those of you who don't really know us, Ruben and I are both ecologists. My interest is in conservation, communities, and behavior. Ruben is a post doc working with honeybees and almonds pollination. I work with native bees in the area looking at how habitat loss is affecting their populations. I absolutely LOVE bees (natives...which also include bumblebees). They are amazing creatures. Here is a picture I took of this small male bee in my backyard...
