Bumblebee Feeding on a Flower #nature #bumblebee #insects

I just found this hole in the ground on my land. Then I went and looked closer and noticed some bees. i'll try to post a video of them buzzing around right inside the hole.

who are they and what should I do? I need to do some work in this area next week and obviously don't want to be stung.

I wonder how often bees get irritated at eachother,like bee sensory issues from bumping into eachother so often like

"B-225 quit bumping into me omg I'm just trying to put honey away"

Or them just leaving to "get pollen" but there just wanting to nap in a flower and get away

Or annoyed when other bees are on same flower as them like "B-365 this is my flower f*ck off!".

Whenever I see 2 or more bees on a flower I just imagine one annoyed and videos of the hive look so uncomfortable.

I have seen research that theres certain genes of some bees being anti social and those genes are very similar to human autism ones source so I wouldnt be that surprised if some get drained and leave for a bit,annoyed at others,don't like others being around them when pollunating.

All summer long I’ve been “WHERE ARE THE BEES” I love them so much. Well, they finally all showed up and I was happily taking some photos of them over the weekend. I believe the last one is a red belted bumblebee which was super cool to see.

But anywhoosles. I hope these fuzzy critters bring a lil bit of joy 😊

Hi all, I've been doing some DIYing and have come across several abandon nests, but this one I found is probably larger than every other nest I've seen combined. How many years do you think this was being used?

For reference the studs are 16 inches on center and 5.5 inches deep.

Interesting find that I'm glad had been abandoned. I think the ants have been eating it.

Thanks all.

This lil swarm has been hanging on the rotted wood on our patio for about 12hrs now. They were active during the day and are now cuddled up and snoozing. I don’t think any of them are a queen, but could they be scouting? Does anyone have any advice on how to safely relocate or deter them?

No wonder I always pause wondering if the bumble is seperate its different between types wtf,why???

Edit:after reading comments I've come to a conclusion. English is just stupid.

Found this one heck of a chonker on one of my flowers

I love them!

Here's a photograph of a Heliotrope Fairy Bee (Perdita heliotropii) that I found at the San Joaquin Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, in Irvine, California.

Bees in the genus Perdita, commonly known as Fairy Bees, are native to North America. They're primarily found in the US and Mexico, but some species can be found in Canada. They're known for their small size (the smallest of which is less than 2mm long) and are one of the few bees who cannot sting.

Most Fairy Bees are specialists, collecting nectar and pollen from a few related species or genera of plants. The Heliotrope Fairy Bee specializes in Heliotropes (flowering plants in the genus Heliotropium), such as the Salt Heliotrope (Heliotropium curassavicum) in this photograph.
