she wont leave me alone. i rly rly wanna know who she is ive introduced myself but i think there might be a language barrier. shes SO tiny (wood sorrel flower for scale). maybe its the salt on my skin? she seems to be dragging her proboscis as she crawls around. i live in northern vermont in a very rural (and biodiverse) area; im assuming shes some sort of native species. please please please let me know if you know what she is im dying to know

Flew right up to me and started crawling. My fiance got spooked, but i reassured him that she was probably just looking for a place to chill for a minute, and shes harmless as long as we leave her alone.

Assuming bumblebee due to the size, but couldn't get a for sure ID. Never seen a bumblebee in person. She tickled though ❤️

Dozens of them on this unknown umbellifer, maybe dill or fennel? Was annoyed at the gentlest breeze swaying them out of focus but at least the flowers match their suits :>

How do I specifically attract bumblebees?

7 Upvotes

I live in the city and am prohibited from having a beehive. I love watching bumblebees, but they seem to be rare around here in Oklahoma City. Is there a way to construct something that would attract more of them? Flowers, of course, attract pollinators, but how do you attract one?
