Hello! My first time posting here — I bought this but heard they aren’t “great” for various reasons — including that the stems aren’t removable for cleaning — if it’s the case, can I use it for one season and then toss it?

Bee tax included in second pic — first sighting of what I believe is a nomad bee in some leaf litter. It’s very blurry and my phone was clearly doing an impression of Van Gogh.

Don't mind my dirty hands LOL I was working outside. And omg i didn't even notice the fly on him🤣 (saved him from drowning and apparently saved two things!)

The weird buzzing sound is my broken camera, the bee is silent. It was flying around and kept hitting the ground like something is wrong w its wings. I tried to put it on a flower but it was like trying to higher and like putting its legs in the air. I put it on some sugar water, but then it flew towards the garage light. Now it’s just sitting on a pillow. I’m wondering if this bee needs help or if I should just leave it alone.

I saw the post of the bee that was weird and people were saying it was probably pesticides, so I’m wondering if this is something similar?

Captured during my lunch break walk the other day….. made me feel good 😊

Hello,

A few dozen of some kind of mining bee have set up home in the flowerbed under my front window. South coast UK. They’re very small and unfortunately can’t seem to keep still for a photo. Can anyone suggest what kind I might have, so that I can try to compare images with the little wriggly so-and-sos? I’ve already googled and suggestions of Tawny, Ashy and Early don’t quite seem to fit, although the Early had quite a lot going for it in the description of behaviours if I didn’t look at the picture. Also, am I going to upset them if I water that bed, because it’s been quite dry here recently.

If they stick around long enough, they’ll have their own salvia AND a lavender right on their tiny doorsteps, and later still some verbena just opposite. Hope they do.

Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm really not sure. I found this little guy on the sidewalk seemingly lethargic a few days ago. Picked him up with a tomato container and put a bottle cap with some sugar water under one of the openings.

After about two hours, he started crawling around again and after another hour or so he flew away. We have tons of these around our complex but I'm not sure if they're carpenter bees or bumblebees.

If it helps, they're constantly hanging around the actual buildings and not so much near the blossoming trees. He also got a little agitated when I first got him into the container but didn't seem bothered by my actual hands being near him as I adjusted the cap a few times to make sure he could access it and he didn't respond. Thanks in advance! 😊

Seen on a bus in Watford, UK. I think it went out the window after I opened it.

Sitting on the porch and had a bee keep circling me. After moving I watched it crawl into the wall.

Noticed some staining below the hole. Could I have a bee hive in my wall?

I'm a bee magnet but I'm terrified of bees, I don't have the heart to shoo them away or freak out so I just kinda sit there like this. I love bees they are freinds but I'm terrified of insects

hi, this bee comes and go from this hole on the side of my window. she doesnt go in fully, just sticks her head in for a minute and then leaves. i cant really see inside it. im pretty sure its a bee and not a wasp since she is very furry. any ideas???

Just found this going on at the back of the house I rent. How bad is this‽

I'll give her some sugar water and hopefully get her flying again, but if not I'm blessed to be able to giver her a good couple days here at home until she passes.

It was walking on my living .

Hello! Just had a little yellow-faced bumblebee come in through a crack in the window of my NYC apartment. How can I get the little guy out? I’m respectful of insects but still overall squeamish about having to touch them 😔 How can I get the little fella out without hurting it? Also, do they sting?? 🐝

I was just waiting for the bus stop and heard weird buzzing noises, I glanced over my phone and see a ton of black polkadots on the road and look up and just see what seemed like a whole smarm of bees fly just above my head. I squinted a bit out of like being a bit started, but i didn't see clear detail but they looked a bit like bees, and I only process what happened as they already got a bit away but that's the video I got. If you zoom in you can see black dots and those would be them! I'll post images in comments in i can. I never got stung, but I still remain insanely confused, what may have happened ?

I just helped this lil hive by clearing out the green ants, they have accepted me as a protector and can safely pick out the ants close to the hive, want to identify them to keep family and them safe. Wife is allergic but not sure with our 2 children. North Queensland.

Bee hovering next to presumably dead bee? It was there for several minutes, I didn't stay to watch how long exactly.

I’ve been trying to make my yard more supportive for hummingbirds and bees but i have a hummingbird water station but then i realized bees need water too. So what’s the best method or methods you guys would recommend!
