  1. Looking at my past sightings, it might be too early for #bumblebees, so they are probably #CarpenterBees.

  2. I *think* these are #bumblebees in the periwinkle patch. Their butts looked pretty fuzzy (as opposed to #CarpenterBees which have smooth butts).

    I love bee butts and I cannot lie! 🐝

  3. So, I can say that given the observations made by myself, my hubby and my neighbors, the bumblebees have made a HUGE comeback in #SouthernMaine this year (despite the drought)! There were very low #Bumblebee populations last year (more #CarpenterBees and #honeybees and a few smaller #NativeBees). A lot of us are #GardeningForPollnators and #GardeningWithoutChemicals , so I think that's helping!

  4. #Pollinator observations from the last few days. No #Bumblebees, but sighted lots of #CarpenterBees (not living in our house -- they have plenty of logs to reside in), #HumingbirdMoths, a few #Honeybees (from neighbor's hives), and some small bees (#Sweatbees). I know we had some Bumblebees as of last October. I hope they make a comeback, though I've noticed their numbers dwindling...
