  1. Went biking today chasing the last of the tulip fields... Most had already faded, but a few stubborn late bloomers held on. It wasn't the waves of color I'd hoped for, but the day had its quiet magic, full of little new discoveries.

  2. We have Spring here too.

    1. Not to bee outdone (sorry), our Spring is starting with a vengeance, so even a bad night (they happen, don't they?) didn't dampen my delight at seeing this busy Bumblebee on what I think is a maple tree at the start of our trail.

    2. It is a very warm 23ºC and we can go for a walk without putting on lots of layers and boots. Hooray!

    3. This morning I really hoped to see deer on my trail cam from overnight, something I knew would make me feel better. And I did! There were several videos, some with one, two and even one with three deer nibbling at new leaves on the bushes. That's 3 Good Things on its own!

    Happy Wednesday evening to all!

  3. You’re lucky if you have a #bumblebee nest in your #garden/yard.
    It is a privilege to be able to provide a space for these wonderful, vital and often #endangered creatures.
    If they choose your patch it’s your responsibility to choose to #protect , watch out for and share space peacefully with these #bees.

  4. The Bumblebee Lifecyle.
    This is the quick version and a generalisation - obviously there may be variance depending on species and geographic location.

    #Bumblebee queens emerge from hibernation in early spring - how they got there we’ll get to later just go with it for now!

  5. As usual at this time of year we have people on worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their garden.
    ‘Are they dangerous?’
    ‘Should I have them removed?’
    ‘Will they be there forever?’
    Here’s a quick #bumblebee #lifecycle thread to explain.
    Please #repost / #share for the #bees.

  6. Another of my drawings from Weretober last year that I decided to color! There's a bunch of them that I want to, but I especially wanted to do this cute bumblebee gal to submit for the April 2026 InverteFest art book. Take a look - it's full of great bug (and other invert) art - both real critters and fantasy!

    Larvae drive demand for food in #bumblebee colonies but where are these resources deployed?
    The larvae require POLLEN for GROWTH… and THERMAL regulation of the brood uses up most of the energy from NECTAR.

    As the #bumblebee queen starts laying ‘male’ eggs she stops emitting a pheromone telling workers to raise fertilised eggs as workers.
    All further fertilised eggs laid are raised as queens.
    But trouble is brewing!

  11. New on my #blog: aspi.blog/2025/11/01/warm-spel
    November in England is not generally considered a great time for insect sightings but a combination of warm temperatures and sunshine brought them out today.

  12. Big bumblebee taking a break sleeping in the Saffron! The Saffron are practically the only flowers blooming this late in the Fall. Zoom in and you can see yellow pollen all over the bumblebee!

    Its two antenna were wiggling up and down very slowly in alternate patterns. Was it dreaming of pollen?!

  13. Why a #mite of the #Parasitidae (#Mesostigmata), apparently genus #Parasitellus, seemingly attacks moth #Pyrausta #despicata (Crambidae). Parasitellus develops in #bumblebee #nests and uses them for dispersal (#phoresy) to other nests, thus they leave their hosts on blossoms and wait for new hosts to be carried to new nests. The moth was detected by the mite as a #nonsuitable #phoretic #host.
