Even within the same colony not all #bumblebees spend the same amount of time actively foraging for pollen and nectar.
Bees that spend more time foraging tend to have shorter lifespans than those bees that forage less often.

#Bumblebees made history when over 130 years ago they were brought from England to New Zealand to pollinate red #clover for farmers - the first #insect to be introduced to a country to #pollinate a specific plant.🙁

It’s been a few days.
What’s been happening?
Any tariffs on speaking the truth yet?

Bees are able to navigate using the polarised light patterns in the sky by virtue of their 3 ‘simple eyes’ or #ocelli which are positioned on top of the head between their 2 larger compound eyes.
So 5 eyes in all!

#Survival of Eurasian #lynx in the human-dominated landscape of #Europe

#ConservationBiology

#IllegalKilling was the main cause of #mortality (33.8%), and mortality rates were similar in protected and hunted populations (8.6% and 7.0% per year, respectively). Due to the low natural mortality rates in protected and hunted populations, #anthropogenic causes of mortality are likely close to additive, such that maintaining or increasing refuge #habitat with little human #disturbance is critical to lynx #conservation.

Pollen ‘safe sites’ exist on bee bodies which bees can’t reach when grooming (waist & dorsal area of thorax/abdomen).
The anthers/stigmas of #flowers regularly come into contact with these parts ensuring #pollination.

Late?
Yep!
Of course!🙄
But…

It’s #Friday folks!

And we made it through another week without some psychopathic dictator nuking the planet! Yay us!

So have the best #weekend you can.

And don’t be a Nazi.
Can’t forget that one.

#bumblebees have hearts but they are not ❤️ shaped.
Bee hearts are straw shaped organs and run the entire length of the body.

Bumblebee Love.

For most species of #bumblebee the queens will usually only mate with one male.
Most males never actually get to mate successfully but if given the chance will indeed mate with more than one queen!

But if a psycho billionaire drops by with a tech nerd kid in tow demanding access to your personal data…all bets are off…you know what to do.

Bumblebees don’t have ears!
They rely on sensing sounds vibrating through nearby materials with all of their body.

‘The silence often of pure innocence
Persuades when speaking fails.’

Take it easy on yourself.
On the #planet.
On others.

And…

‘Always look on the bright side of life…’

Bumblebees have to learn how to get nectar from flowers. They will usually visit the same flowers every day as long as they keep finding nectar and pollen.
This is called flower or #pollinator constancy.
