@nev Another cute bee you might try to find is Osmia inermis, a rarely-photographed species with a Palearctic distribution. Their mud-and-chewed-leaves brood chambers can be found by FLIPPING ROCKS. To narrow down which rocks to turn over you should look for pollen-laden mason bees disappearing into pebble fields. #bees #rocks #osmia #insects inaturalist.org/observations/2

Three big fluffy bumblebees (and one honeybee) were all over the huckleberry bush today. Didn’t even notice the tiny flowers. The sound of buzzing was such a sweet surprise. Buzzfest 2025

Bombus vosnesenskii (maybe)

Okay, okay…here’s the genuine bee fact for today.
No Taylor Swift.
No Marvin Gaye.
No trickery.
No fools.
Just a lovely Common Carder #bumblebee on a vital #dandelion flower.
Go easy folks.

This plant stressing bee behaviour may be a ‘tough love’ adaptation as #climate breakdown brings bees out of hibernation earlier.
If no food is available #bees die, pollination suffers and plants disappear too.☹️

A recent study in Sweden has found that music can affect bumblebee mating - specifically the length of mating events.
In a laboratory environment broadcasting soul songs such as Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ resulted in longer and more frequent mating events.
Songs by #TaylorSwift were found to decrease mating event duration and often inhibit entirely mating between #bumblebees.
