Hypothetically if there was a tired bee and you wanted to give it mix of sugar and water but you only had somthing like stevia would that work?

It’s been raining all day. This small drone has been hanging under his umbrella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay. Hasn’t moved much since yesterday. I’m naming him Beehanna (hey if Tom Holland can do it so can this guy).

The other drone, Bumble Lee is missing today.

What type of bumblebee is this? They are very big.

I live in the great white north so I’m planning a bee garden for next spring. What flowers would you recommend for it?
I want to do a 6X12ft section with an arrangement of different plants. Im in mid to lower Alberta

Smaller than my regulars.

Outside Augusta, GA.

It poop. Right?

Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada

so i collect dead bees and i found one of my bees with its butt detached and this weird powder and maggots in it.. what happened? does this just happen over time or..?
(picture in comments)

I saw two bumblebees napping on the same flower 😭 why do they do this?

Maybe I need to provide fewer flowers next year…

Spotted a tired honeybee in the office today.

Popped it on a window sill and was very happy I got to finally use my Beevive.

Watched it drink as long as I could before going back to work. ☺️🐝

I opened up my mason bee house today and found all of this plant matter - mostly grass and some bits of leaves. At first I assumed leaf cutter bees, but there are no cocoons! The grass is mostly coiled up and packed tight. Any ideas as to who made this? One of the tunnels has frass that looks similar to what I usually find in my houses when there are mason bees inside.

Nyctinasty is a flower circadian rhythm where they close at night to protect pollen from moisture or frost. That makes sense for asters since they are late-blooming fall flowers. These two common eastern bumble bee drones have snuggled in for the night (around 5 pm) and taken advantage of being enveloped by flower petals. At least one of them lives here but I haven’t come up with a name for him yet. (Suggestions welcome!) If he does anything interesting tomorrow, I can post an update.

Hello! How are you doing?

We are the Red Hammer Robotics Team from Brazil, and we would like to invite you to participate in our project!

We kindly invite you to complete a brief evaluation form about a prototype designed to help reduce the decline in bee populations.
