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.

Bumblebees don’t have ears!
They rely on sensing sounds vibrating through nearby materials with all of their body.

‘The silence often of pure innocence
Persuades when speaking fails.’

Solitary Bees:
Account for over 90% of bee species.
Don’t live in colonies.
Don’t have a queen.
Don’t make honey/wax.
Aren’t aggressive.
Don’t swarm.
Rarely sting.
Vary in size but are usually smaller than #bumblebees.

Late?
Yep!
Busy?
Too!
That slow tired right-antenna rub by this chilled leaf-cutter bee…exactly how I feel!
I’m off to bed…don’t go fucking the #planet and the bees while I’m out…oh wait…never mind…carry on…or don’t…

# 122 contd.
Research during the 1970’s found that #leafcutterbees nesting in plastic straws resulted in a mortality rate of 90% for offspring.
#plastic isn’t breathable, seals in moisture and promotes fungal growth.

Plastic has become so ubiquitous in the planet’s #environment that #leafcutterbees have been observed using discarded #plastic instead of leaves in the construction of their nests.
This is not positive evolution.

Bees foraged amongst dinosaurs.

Ponder that…in the context of our consequence.

Bees are hairy for good reason.
When bees forage on flowers they automatically catch and collect fine pollen grains on the many hairs all over their bodies. This ‘efficiency by default’ makes them ideal pollinators.
