Bee

Bombus Sylvestris. C'est un bourdon parasite d'autres espèces de bourdons, c'est le deuxième plus fréquent bourdon parasite en Europe. Les adultes butines les fleurs; les femelles s'emparent des nids de bourdon terrestre pour y faire élever leurs propres larves par d'autres espèces, d'où le nom

"Bombus de coucou " C'est la première fois que je le vois dans notre jardin. C'est un petit poilu nerveux qui ne tient pas en place et très difficile à capter

Took this back in April, Spring being my favourite time of year as everything is exploding into life and the weather is not too hot, good for avoiding heat distortion. I happened upon this small, decorative garden area, affront of this housing estate and caught sight of this Bee asleep on the job. It really is a completely alien world insects live in, both dimensionally and environmentally.

I hope everyone is well and as always, thank you! :)

Yellow-Faced Bumble Bee Approaching a California Poppy

This image captures a yellow-faced bumble bee (Bombus vosnesenskii) in flight as it approaches a California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). Bumble bees are among the most important native pollinators in western North America, supporting the reproduction of both wild plants and agricultural crops.

Their dense body hairs efficiently collect and transfer pollen between flowers, promoting cross-pollination and genetic diversity. Unlike many pollinating insects, bumble bees can forage in cool temperatures and low-light conditions, extending pollination activity throughout the day and season. They are also capable of “buzz pollination,” a specialized behavior in which rapid vibrations release pollen from flowers that other pollinators cannot access effectively.

Through their pollination services, bumble bees contribute to seed production, ecosystem stability, and biodiversity. Because they are sensitive to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, healthy bumble bee populations are considered important indicators of environmental health.

Le Bourdon terrestre (Bombus terrestris), est une espèce d'insectes hyménoptères de la famille des Apidae (de Apis : abeille). Bon pollinisateur, ce bourdon, qui recrée tous les ans de nouvelles colonies établies sous la terre, est commun en Europe, où il est élevé.

Bombus terrestris, the buff-tailed bumblebee or large earth bumblebee, is one of the most numerous bumblebee species in Europe. It is one of the main species used in greenhouse pollination, and so can be found in many countries and areas where it is not native, such as Tasmania. Moreover, it is a eusocial insect with an overlap of generations, a division of labour, and cooperative brood care. The queen is monogamous, which means she mates with only one male. B. terrestris workers learn flower colours and forage efficiently.

This photo is not a sticking!

Bombus pascuorum, le bourdon des champs, est une espèce d'insectes hyménoptères de la famille des Apidae, du genre Bombus et du sous-genre Thoracobombus.

Bombus pascuorum, the common carder bee, is a species of bumblebee present in most of Europe in a wide variety of habitats such as meadows, pastures, waste ground, ditches and embankments, roads, and field margins, as well as gardens and parks in urban areas and forests and forest edges. It is similar in appearance to Bombus muscorum, and is replacing that species in northern Britain.

White tail bumblebee

Bombus es un género de himenópteros de la familia Apidae que incluye las especies conocidas por el nombre común de abejorro.Los abejorros son robustos, velludos, de color negro, muchos presentan bandas amarillas, blancas o en algunos casos naranja. El vello que cubre casi todo el cuerpo es sedoso, con setas ramificadas, plumosas.

Las hembras (reinas y obreras) se diferencian de los abejorros carpinteros por la presencia de la corbícula o canasta de polen en las patas posteriores, un órgano especializado para la colección de polen. Los abejorros son abejas relativamente grandes de 20 milímetros o más. Las reinas son más grandes que las obreras y que los zánganos. Se alimentan fundamentalmente de néctar y colectan polen para alimentar a sus crías, como lo hacen sus parientes, las abejas melíferas o abejas domésticas.

Also known as a Confusing Bumble Bee, this insect is 1/2" - 3/4" in length and usually nests underground. This was my first time seeing this type of bee as it is very rare in my area.

Thank you so much for your visits, faves and comments.
