I heard on TV recently that the big bees you see at this early part of the year are pregnant queens


Buzzzzzzz:snz:zzzzzy bees :hehe:

 

There are plenty of large bees around here, doing their thing. We don't take much notice of each other and just carry on with what we're doing.

 

Yes they are. Searching for a new nest.

 

I like seeing the bees around, makes me realise that summer is on its way - and that can only be(e) a good thing!
I hate wasps - they are quite pointless in my opinion - bees and hoverflies can manage the task of pollination and we can be rid of the bloody creatures!! They just sting - and it hurts!

 

"Bumble Bees" can fly in colder conditions than hive bees. Apparently they use their wings to "rev up" their body temps.
I f you Google "wasps" you find that they're extremely useful creatures. Maybe not for us when they sting us, drown in our beer and stop us enjoying our picnics.:( But their species will be here long after we've become extinct.:wink:

 

I had a visit from a large Red tailed bumblebee Lapidarius this morning in my conservatory.
It rested up awhile and moved on, I assume looking for a nesting place.
Its great to see them.
