The shiny, metallic green color of this bee is vivid and uncommon compared to more typical yellow and black relatives. Augochlora Sweat Bees are small, with brown wings. Their bodies are shiny and metallic, covered in short hairs. As you can see, Sweat Bees have pollen baskets on their legs and collect it like other bees. They can sting like other bees, but are very reluctant to do so. They get their unlikely name, Sweat Bees, because they also seem to enjoy licking sweat off of arms and legs. The salt attracts the insect and allows for closer observation. They are not aggressive and are unlikely to sting. Like flies, one can shoo them away with gentle encouragement. ・・・ #growninhaiti #sweatbee #AugochloraPura #pollinators #agroforestry #biodiversity #squashblossom #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #species #nopesticides #organic #natureatwork https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gEMs2FYUp/?igshid=17m5kdh3op1es

Repost from another seed-loving Owen (@annapolis_seeds)! We were given our Kusa seeds from our Palestinian chef friend @ananzahr. Glad to see they’ve made their way to Nova Scotia and that they are doing so well! Owen says: “They’ve grown into the lushest, most vibrant row on the whole farm!” Here’s the post: . It’s one of my favourite seasons; give your friends a zucchini season. No visitors have been allowed to leave the farm without one lately. . This is the Palestinian Kusa! A new variety on the farm this season, thanks @seedkeeping for sharing the seeds with us. Kusa are the Middle Eastern cousin of the Italian zucchini. They’re delicious in many of the same ways. I hear stuffing and roasting them when small is the preferred method, although I’ve been enjoying them at this slightly larger size. . . . . . #summersquash #kusasquash #heirloomsquash #squashblossom #basketofsquash #zucchini #seedsaving #annapolisvalley #atlanticgrownseed #organicgardening #vegetablegardening #heirloomseeds https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RgT_uA5n8/?igshid=1adk89zlm54gt
