    Option 2: Queens lay UNFERTILISED eggs late in the nest cycle which develop into MALE #bees with chromosomes from the queen only. Males have no father.
    Laying male eggs signals the start of the end for the nest!

    Keeping with the male bumblebee theme:
    Male #bumblebees do not forage for #pollen and #nectar for the colony but rather forage exclusively for nectar for themselves to maintain energy for mating flights and mating!

    I hope you all have a wonderful day, wherever you are.

  15. Mornin’.

    When the #solutions are this beautiful, this simple, then why the resistance? The reticence?

    Are we that far gone that this scares us? Doesn’t call to us?
    Is lost to us?

    I don’t believe so.
    Do you?

    #Knapweed and #MuskMallow alive with #bees and #butterflies here today.

  17. Mornin’.

    Would you look at the corbiculae on this wee red arsed #bumblebee foraging on knapweed here on The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland earlier.

    Now that’s some serious pollen transportation.

    Quick bee fact: A full pollen basket can contain over one million pollen grains.

  19. I was told this was #AngleShades #Moth #Caterpillar Mid March 2022

    Caterpillar ID is not my strong point.
    I'm not keen on disturbing them either for a better look.

    Hanging out on #Knapweed leaf with #OxeyeDaisy nearby in my urban garden #Wildflowers border.

    Looking plump. Moth is a big sized fella. Would be a nice catch for any urban #bats.

    Native #Wildflowers are important as are untidy overwintering areas in urban settings for increasing #wildlife.
