I am not sure what this flower was but the pollinators at our local Columbus Quarry Trails** **Metro Park absolutely loved them. #bees #insects #pollinators
I tried to post a video that illustrates exactly how many #bees are in our oak tree— a lot. Two problems: The first is the video is too big to upload to our instance. The second is that you can’t really see the insects for the most part.

Nearly 85% of bee species live in the ground, but little is known about how they construct and modify their nests. CT scans, however, could “really give a lot of insight into what’s happening.” More from Science.com: https://flip.it/RpUzTC

Playing with some busy bee motifs for today's #inkyDays drawing.
And that's a wrap for this week of daily drawings. All the in-progress and finished drawings are now posted for my supporters in the posts on my Patreon and Ko-fi. I'll be starting new posts tomorrow.

@potatogunkelly no sorry. 🐝 Bees are the superstars of pollination, outperforming even wind! A single bee colony can efficiently pollinate 3 million flowers daily, leaving wind pollination in the dust. 🌼🌸💨 #Bees #PollinationPower #NatureFacts

The #SciArtSeptember prompt gossamer made me think of the wings of this Megachile brevis leafcutter bee.
Unlike the better known, and imported honeybee, the Leafcutter bees are solitary and make no honey, but they are vital pollinators who play an important role in the ecosystem. They are found throughout the US and southern Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 🧵1/2

and because so smol #australian #native #bees have a much smaller radius than the bigger european #honeybees in distances they fly

australian native #bees are stingless and just the cutest smol bee imaginable :awesome: :blobcat_hearthug: 🐝 #bee #stingless

And I just shook a bee off my leg. And I get bitten by mosquitos every day too! There are too many critters with too many legs in my yard.

Oh look @james_gilbert is here at last! Welcome. Follow and use hashtags, boost posts, follow lots of people. Periodically go back to twitter to remind yourself how awful it is there.

I always enjoy watching bumblebees going about their business. Observed this Bombus appositus (white-shouldered bumblebee) last weekend visiting a population Gentiana parryi (Parry's Gentian) in the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico. Earlier in the season, before the Gentiana are flowering, I have seen these bees visiting several other genera of wildflowers including Monarda, Oxytropis, and Penstemon. #Bombus #Bumblebees #Bees #Pollinators #Botany #Wildflowers
