Thank you for reading and caring.
PLEASE #repost.
Don’t just like, #share.
The more informed, the more queens survive and the more #bumblebees we have.
Simple.
Our native wild #bees are in serious trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can.
Thanks again for helping!
For caring.
For sharing.
A little bit of good in a world that so needs it.

..be harmful to #bumblebees. Usually once she takes on some sugars & heats up she’ll happily fly off. Don’t bring her indoors for long periods! If she has already established a nest and laid eggs she needs to get back to sit on them to keep them warm - yes just like a hen!

As with sleeping dogs leave resting #bumblebees lie - for up to an hour before intervening. (Unless of course she is in imminent danger whereby she should be carefully moved to a safe place). However if after about an hour she is still present then she may need assistance.

It’s that time of year - people asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to.
Please #repost.
Every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year!
So this is important to share.
Thank you.

A bumble bee bum sparkling in the sun as it robs nectar from the African Flag flower.

P.S. This flower was in our garden when we moved in, but we need to rip it out each summer because it dries into a fire tender hazard. I would dig out the bulbs but the Anna Hummingbirds love it.

Early again.
Something’s up.
It’s not like me.
Could it be a reflex response to the level of fuckery going on presently on this planet I hear you ask.
What’s that?
You didn’t ask that.
Oh…okay…as you were, but I swear I heard…

#Bumblebees store small amounts of regurgitated #nectar to feed larvae and for emergencies in wax ‘honey pots’ in the nest.
The wax to create these honey pots is released from between the segments of the abdomen.

Late?
Yep!
Of course!🙄
But…

It’s #Friday folks!

And we made it through another week without some psychopathic dictator nuking the planet! Yay us!

So have the best #weekend you can.

You know the drill:

Be #kind
Be #gentle
Be #true
Be like #bees
Oh…
And don’t be a Nazi.
Can’t forget that one.

#bumblebees have hearts but they are not ❤️ shaped.
Bee hearts are straw shaped organs and run the entire length of the body.

Right on the money!
Or near enough as doesn’t matter.

And not a DOGE-manipulating self-serving pseudo-fascist state-sponsored Europe-dismantling billionaire asswipe in sight!

#bees not #billionaires!

Have a good one folks!

Development from egg to adult bumblebee can take anywhere from 20 to 35 days depending on species and conditions.
Half this time is spent as a larva feeding and half as a pupa in a cocoon.
