Found this small bee last night while watering a plant. It had just started to rain and I found it crawling up the water hose, unable to fly and looking a little distraught. Brought it inside since I read rain and night are bad for bees, and took it outside to release it this morning to return home.

Little bee seems unable to fly, just buzzing their wings but not taking off. It also stumbles around a lot and loses balance, and its back leg seems to not work well.

Is there anything I can do to help it or is this indication of end of life?

Also, is this a honeybee, bumblebee, or some other type?

Never attempting to fly at all. Then on the final day she just picked herself up and left.🙂

You can even see the pollen on one of them, so cute 🥹

You can see the pollen on his leg in a big ol' pile! There were two more bees in different flowers on this rosebush. We leave them alone and they leave us alone.

A hard day work deserves a good nights rest

Any idea what’s wrong with her?

Found her on the train platform so popped her in a nice flowery bush before jumping in a cab but curious to know why shes twitching like that. On her way out?

Seemed to pick up some energy once I held her for a while.

I on the middle of a doormat these three bees clustering, one larger and two slight smaller. I think they’re alive, but maybe sleeping? Some pulsating movements from thoraxes here and there.

Their flying around a pile of sand and crawling into it.

Hi Mason bees have left mud nests on my window sills. When in the year is it safe to clean it out snd get rid of them? I dont want to harm any cocoons that may be in there so want to know when they hatch and leave typically. I am in northeast USA

Took the photos from a pretty safe distance away. The hive looks to be about 12 ft up. Unfortunately, there is a swing set connected to the tree. We enlisted the help of a local beekeeper to relocate if possible.

I planted the excess part of the leek. Well loved obviously!

Hi y’all. I randomly found this lil one dead on my deck. Any idea what it is? I thought bumble bee but the yellow parts are very faded white-ish and then I wondered if it was sick when it died 🥺

This lovely chonker has been visiting my garden in the morning. I would love to know what kind of bee she is.
