Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

80% of solitary bee species are mining bees.
They nest in the ground.
To do this they must have access to bare soil.
Help them - scrape back some soil/build a mound - south facing.
And never use pesticides.
Ever…ever!

Bumblebees have four wings.
The two back wings are smaller and are usually attached to the bigger front wings by a row of hooks.
This can sometimes lead to the mistaken impression that they only have two wings.

Relatively hardy and able to vibrate their bodies to create heat, #bumblebees are able to forage in cooler temperatures than honey bees.
They can begin foraging earlier in the day and continue later into the evening.
