Bumblebees don't seem threatening like other bees and wasps. They are almost comical with their plump, furry bodies, but they are very busy and very speedy, especially when you are trying to capture one with your camera. lol

"Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway."

Erdhummel - Buff-tailed Bumblebee

Wegen nicht behebbarer Probleme mit meinem Account (ich erhalte keine Email-Nachrichten mehr) ziehe ich bald um. In Zukunft findest Du meine Bilder über die Personensuche unter “Manni.Aigner”. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn wir in Kontakt blieben.

Schöne Grüße

Manfred

Because of not remediable problems with my account I’m moving soon. In future you can find my photos by using the people finder tool for “Manni.Aigner”. I would be happy, if we stayed in contact.

Best Regards

Manfred

Looking at camera

Bumblebees are social bees with a queen and workers. A queen always looks for a nest site where insulation material is already available. In the spring, such a queen, which has already mated before winter, starts her own nest. In it she first raises a few workers, who then take over the work. Eventually, new queens and male bumblebees are produced that mate. All bumblebees die except the new queens, which go into hibernation.

The inconspicuous things in nature are usually the most beautiful to me when I look closely....

Die unscheinbaren Dinge in der Natur sind bei genauer Betrachtung meist das Schönste für mich...

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments.

Karin Weissenbacher: Bumblebee (Erdhummel), ca. 2 m hoch, Metall und Styrodur

Kunstobjekt auf einem Ponton auf dem Rantzauer See, Barmstedt

Die Künstlerin sagt: "Die Hummel gehört zu den Wildbienen, und insbesondere die Erdhummeln sind wichtige Bestäuber Insekten u.a. für Obst und Gemüse und viele Blumen. Die Erdhummel ist sehr wichtig für den gesunden Naturkreislauf…

Mit der ‚Bumblebee‘ möchte ich auf die Einmaligkeit und große Bedeutung dieser Bestäuber Insekten aufmerksam machen und auf die Verbindung, die wir Menschen zu den Hummeln haben."

The artist says: "The bumblebee is one of the wild bees, and the common bee in particular is an important pollinator of insects, including fruit and vegetables and many flowers. The common bumblebee is very important for the healthy cycle of nature...

With the 'Bumblebee' I want to draw attention to the uniqueness and great importance of these pollinating insects and the connection that we humans have to the bumblebees."
