Bumblebees are all over our backyard and this one was just checking out this sedum flower when I passing next to the plant. Only had a minute before it would fly away to another pink opportunity ...
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.[2] Moreover, it is a eusocial insect with an overlap of generations, a division of labor, and cooperative brood care. The queen is monandrous which means she mates with only one male. B. terrestris workers learn flower colors and forage efficiently.
On our way home Monday we stopped in Mackinaw to see the big new transformer.
Mack-A-Tron is a new 30ā sculpture made from auto parts and a little Mackinac bridge grating which has been installed in Mackinaw Crossings.
Cheilosia illustrata is a bumblebee mimic with a black and white appearance and an orange tail. The wings have clouds.
Cheilosia illustrata is commonly encountered on Hogweed and Angelica flowers in midsummer. It is widespread and locally common in Hogweed-rich habitats, especially grasslands, hedge margins, woodland edges and wide woodland rides.
Adults fly from May to August. The larvae develop primarily in the roots of Hogweed but Wild Parsnip and possibly Angelica may also be used.
Thanks to Steven Falk for the rather lovely common name for this hover!
The white-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lucorum) is a common bee species that often visits cornflowers. While they are generally a generalist forager, they can be seen on a variety of flowers, including cornflowers, where they may feed on nectar or pollen. Cornflowers are known to be a good source of both nectar and pollen for bumblebees
Ooopps! Bumblebee drops pollen collected from Snake's-head fritillary in my garden today. Lyme Regis Dorset.
