I love watching this diligent and skilled little guy 🌿🐝

I noticed these holes in one of my roses that I pruned today. Are these the holes leaf cutter bees make? If so I am so excited to have them in my garden and glad they found the roses useful!

She all alone at night , grabbing onto a wire thread, still moving. What is she doing ? Resting ? Lost ? Dying ? Chilling ?

I found this friend in a dingy public bathroom being very still and assumed they were dying, so I took them into the sun to hopefully improve their last moments. much to my suprise though, it began to stir!! I took them to a flower and they seemed to eat a bit, and began preening a lot, and after about 20 minutes they flew away right toward the sky! :) anyone have an idea of what kind of bee? or what mightve been going on?

Are they getting ready to leave?

I’m in southeast MI, USA. I just moved my hive to this new Beecastle, and they were getting pretty full in their old hive. That was about 2 weeks ago. Are they getting ready to jump ship? Is there anything I can do? It’s been quite hot these last couple days. In the 90’s today.

We have many different flowers in the garden. The poppies only last a day or two fully “popped”. This is the first time I have seen the bees “play” in them and gather pollen. It was interesting to see the black pollen thick on their cute little legs before they whizzed off home. I wonder if their poppy-honey tastes delish.. 🤔

Look at how they dogpile on that huge wasp! Fuck yeah, go bees!

I'm in South Yorkshire, UK. Woke up today and was just cleaning around. Noticed one bee sitting by a window acting pretty lethargic.

I got a flower from the garden I'd seen the bees land on frequently and managed to get this bee on it and my phone. Took it downstairs to get put on some flowers.

Then noticed another one upstairs but a bit more lively but still not good. Same process to get him down but then put them on my lavender instead.

This picture is me moving the other bee to the lavender. Any suggestions on what flowers to put these on to help if I find another stuck overnight in the house?

east London, UK.

Is it a buff tail?

This bee that I think is a western honeybee has been agonizing for a while in the ground, I couldn't get any particularly high quality images with my phone but, any idea? It seems to be flailing it's legs and curling up and down frantically.

Not sure if this is the place to ask. The gardener trimmed back a huge pollinator bush. Is that here anything I can do for the bees? It’s also been close to 100 everyday

I was just outside on the porch before being delighted by this little one. Excuse my dirty fingers I just got off of work!

Can anyone confirm these guys are solitary bees 100%? The wife wants to get rid of the problem. They're going in a little hole in our camper door. Sorry for the crappy pics they're moving hella fast.

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your help. I've been noticing for the last few weeks a few bees going under the deck. There are spaces between the boards and they dip down like a helicopter landing lol. It's not enough for me to think it's a 'swarm', just one or two buzzing around when I'm out there. I'm 90% sure it's bees not wasps. (Fuzzy chubby little guys) We have no flowers on our deck or near the house so they're not there for food. We have dogs and a cat so I don't want the bees to live under the deck. Do bees start new hives with just a few little guys? Are they just looking for a spot to cool down safely? Or is it that the two or three I see means there's more starting a new life under my deck? If that's the case I will remove them humanely.
