You like artichokes? What about bok choy? Lima beans are my favorite although technically a legume.

Green peas? Green beans? Italian green beans, now we're talkin'!


...JP

[Kathyp]

artichokes and avacados...although i guess that's a fruit?  no peas, and i can take or leave beans unless they are raw off the bush.

[JP]

Avocados are a fruit but they're green so go for it! You like the Californians or the Florida variety?

being from CA that's what i always ate.  then we moved up here and i'll take what i can get.  they are so expensive here! if i'm lucky, i can get a good price  in the dented can store, but then i have to eat a bunch of them all at once!   :-D

They look like "squash bees" (if they start robbing - 'squash'  them). last year in my aforementioned failed garden I found one of these visiting my blossoms - not industrious enough for my liking. but out of curiosity I searched to see what natural pollinators would show up in the absence of my neighbor's honey bees.  - it looks very similar anyway. why they want the propolis I couldn't say.
:deadhorse:barf - puke- spew - vomit  I'm a little perturbed by the terms but it's still very nice honey just the same.

I like Food, except for Squash and Sweet Taters or Yams.  They both have a stringy texture that makes me thing of snotty flossing string.   :imsorry:

Brussell Sprouts are delish just about anyway you want to fix them.  Think of them as Popcorn cabbages to go along with the popcorn shrimp.  I often saute them in a marianade or steam them.  Steamed with a little butter, or a cream sauce...makes me hungry.

Ewe, ewe, ewe!!!  Brian!!!   :lol: :-X :-\  Have that wonderful, most awesome life, day, health.  Cindi

Sweet taters and yams are two completely different things. Except for the fact they both have stringy stuff..:)

[JP]

The yams and sweet potatoes we get don't have too much stringy stuff. I happen to love both with butter, seasoning and maple syrup.

Yum!

Brendhan, what cool bugs!  Did you catch one?  Poke it to see if it had a stinger or if it tried to bite? Did it use it's mandibles to gather the propolis?  How bout the tongue, was it like a fly or a bee?  I LOVE Brussels & artichokes, bokchoy, fresh off the vine green beans, peas raw from the shell not cooked...pretty much everything except avocados & Lima's. :-P
Avocados remind me of squished tomato horn worms & Lima's have that liver type texture UGH!  Today for the family dinner am making roasted yams w/spring onion, garlic & honey, asparagus & marinated cukes/tomatoes/spring onions! My brother got a smoker & is making ribs!  YUMMMMMMM!  J

I have to say interesting video.  Seen insects that look like that but never that big.  I'm sure your going to get some interesting ideas on what it is. lol

+1 on the Agapostemon - Halictid Bee ID



It would be interesting to see their nest(s).

As for bee barf, I would imagine that bees find the way mammals nurse their young quite disgusting!

Got lactating excretion?  ;)
