Garlic is a pungently odoriferous member of the allium family (like onions and leeks). Garlic is generally used as a spice or a seasoning rather than as a vegetable due to its extremely strong flavour. Garlic grows in large papery heads. A novice mistake is to massively overgarlic things by following instructions incorrectly. Remember that the large bulb of garlic you buy is NOT one 'clove'. The whole garlic is called a 'head' or 'knob'.
Bumblebees do not damage brickwork or wood. Some of the bumblebees which make smaller nests, Bombus pratorum and B. hortorum do sometimes chose strange places to nest. Their nests are small and in the case of B. pratorum are usually very short lived.
Honeybees form a ball inside the colony, and then rotate from the warmer center to the colder perimeter. Bumblebees, paper wasps and yellow jackets use a different strategy, Pellitteri said. âIn the fall, they produce males for the first time â all from unfertilized eggs â and raise a new queen.
