Research indicates that although friendlier there is a ‘social awkwardness’ in previously isolated #bumblebees when they are introduced to other #bees. Their antennating behaviour (handshakes) is/are different…

New Zealand's native bees are tiny - about 6 - 7 mm long. They live in burrows in clay banks. Along St Andrew's Walk in Mangonui there are some large colonies this summer. If you zoom the photo you may see a bee entering a burrow just left of centre. #photography #aotearoa #native #bees

Every drupelet in a raspberry, every seed on the surface of a strawberry or inside a watermelon exists because a grain of pollen was transferred to the stigma of a flower. That's a lot of busy #bees !

Two honeybees visit lemon tree flowers. One bee in sharp focus on the yellow stigma surrounded by white petals. A ripening lemon in soft focus in the foreground.

A regular dog flea treatment could kill 62 million honeybees.

My spouse reminded me that December has an #ArtAdventCalendar challenge. Good excuse for me to post my #nature art images. #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Bees #Photography #PhotographersOfMastodon #EastCoastKin #MacroMonday

Honey, the entomology community is abuzz as state does first bee count since 1962, when they had only 98 documented species. The state now has 352 species, and discovered 9 new ones

Beklebte Forschungsbiene - hier eine Gehörnte Mauerbiene - beim Erforschen eines markierten Loches. Andere Löcher sind bereits besetzt und zugemörtelt.
Als ich eine Biologin antraf, die die Bienen beklebte, erzählte sie mir, dass sie die Arten zählten & erforschten, wie weit Wildbienen fliegen.

Eine Bienennisthilfe für Wildbienen. Ein Baumstamm, in den Löcher gebort und nummeriert wurden. An einem in der unteren Mitte des Bildes sitzt eine Wildbiene mit pelzigen, rotbraunen Hinterleib. Auf ihrem Körper klebt die Nummer 23. Die bereits verschlossenen Löcher darüber sind nummeriert mit 6, 12, 21.

Research which socially isolated #bumblebees during a key developmental phase found that when reintroduced to the ‘crowd’ the isolated #bees showed an increase in friendly behaviour.
The opposite of what researchers predicted!

I met some sleepy bees this morning, a swamp harrier hunting for breakfast, and cute magpie (who was alone and a bit picked on judging by the state of their head feathers). I also managed to sneak a closer look at the goldfinch nest in my rose bush - 4 eggs!

A small goldfinch nest glimpsed through out of focus leaves containing four tiny plump eggs with dark speckles/splotches.

#Bees are hard-working, uncomplaining, un-mechanised, highly efficient, create no waste, need no internet to operate, and make an incalculable positive contribution to almost every other species on Earth.
So why did us humans get to the top of the tree of life 🤔

The use of antennae by #bumblebees to ‘communicate’ with other #bees in the colony, by touching their antennae to the antennae of another bee, is referred to as ANTENNATION.
It’s basically a bee handshake.🐝🤝🐝
