One of the ways they remove moisture is by fanning it with their wings. There's a good explanation here:<br /><br />http://www.fordshoneyfarm.com/honeymade.html<br /><br />Your wet summer seems like a logical explanation for the lack of insects. By contrast, I've seen more bugs this year than ever. WE've had an amazing array of butterflies! So the hot, dry weather has had one good outcome!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-50250550165202092872012-08-04T20:34:22.971-04:002012-08-04T20:34:22.971-04:00Exactly!! :) Glad I'm not alone!Exactly!! :) Glad I'm not alone!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-28819604244630532712012-08-04T20:33:53.308-04:002012-08-04T20:33:53.308-04:00I wish I could share some with you.

I can't remember if you've ever said, but how is honey made? Does the nectar just turn into honey or do the bees do something to it? I hope it isn't by regurgitating it from their stomach rucksacks, yuck!<br /><br />We don't seem to have as many insects as usual this year, which I presume is down to the wet summer we've had. I've only seen one butterfly on my Buddleia bushes so far.<br /><br />I'm not watching the Olympics either.Little Blue Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616392505984609128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-87004202612822202042012-08-04T04:17:26.889-04:002012-08-04T04:17:26.889-04:00You're not the only one casting their eyes awa...You're not the only one casting their eyes away from the Olympics! ;) <br /><br />I've read too much about it to enjoy it.
