How to attract bumblebees to your garden | The Wildlife Trusts
The best plants for bumblebees! Bees are important pollinating insects, but they are under threat. You can help them by planting bumblebee-friendly flowers.www.wildlifetrusts.org
A Swedish study found that flower-rich roadsides attract bumblebees, though heavy traffic can make these spots quite risky. #bumblebees

Heavy traffic can turn flower-rich verges into bumblebee traps, study finds
Flower-rich road verges may attract hungry bumblebees, but at the same time, they can be dangerous for the buzzing insects—if traffic is too heavy. The new research from Lund University in Sweden examined the role roadsides play for bumblebees.Lena Björk Blixt (Phys.org)

For #insectSaturday / #insectenSamstag - too late (or too early) for #bienstag, I give to you ... multibees! Two different bumblebee species on some blackberry flowers, from last weekend.
💁🏻♀️ TIL: At the University of #Oulu in #Finland, #bumblebees rolled a ball into a pit to stand on it and reach a #flower. 🐝
#Bees that learned the #puzzle’s parts solved it on their own, with no training on the full task. Controls for accidental success and visual cues confirmed 23 of 30 bees deliberately moved the ball to the correct hidden spot. 🔵

Bumblebees can spontaneously solve problems, study finds
Scientists in Finland found bees could solve an insect version of the classic "box-and-banana" problem.Jennifer Ouellette (Ars Technica)
🐕🌡️ Scientists around the world are finding that high temperatures impair #animal cognition.
From pied babblers in #SouthAfrica that can’t solve simple puzzles to #bumblebees in #Sweden that forget which #flowers to visit, heat scrambles memory, #learning, and self-control. #Dogs bite more, chamois in the Italian Apennines pick fights, and golden julie #fish get aggressive at their own reflection.

🐝👑 Researchers at #PennState discovered that worker #bumblebees control which #larvae become queens by feeding them juvenile hormones.
When workers received the hormone, they passed it into larval #food, producing heavier larvae that grew into queens. The finding shifts our understanding of #bee colonies from a strict hierarchy to a more decentralized system where caregivers shape the colony’s future.

Worker bees have power to pick their queen
Bumble bees either become the larger and fertile queen or a smaller and sterile worker.Laura Baisas (Popular Science)

🐝⚽ #Research at #QueenMary University of #London shows that #bumblebees will choose to stop and play with wooden balls even when #food is available.
This #study from 2022 represents the first time #play behavior has been documented in #insects. Younger #bees participated in ball-rolling more often than older bees, which suggests that playtime helps them practice the motor skills needed to handle different #flowers.

Researchers in France observed #bumblebees travelling over great distances by hitching lifts on passenger airlines.
Queens, males and worker females were all recorded engaging in this behaviour - one anomaly was the very few numbers of female workers with full pollen baskets observed in recent years.
Scientists surmise this was possibly due to limitations on carry-on baggage allowance and excess charges by airlines.

We Finally Know How Bumblebee Queens Can Survive Underwater For Days
The discovery that bumblebee queens could shake it off and emerge unscathed after more than a week submerged in water stunned scientists back in 2024.Michelle Starr (ScienceAlert)

Research suggests that around one in five #bumblebee queens perish during winter #hibernation.
Heavier queens, having greater reserves of fat and glycogen, are more likely to survive than their lighter counterparts.

Larger bumblebees tend to have larger eyes than smaller bumblebees.
Larger eyes mean higher light sensitivity which enables flight under lower light conditions.
So dawn/dusk low intensity light favours foraging by larger #bees.

The three simple eyes, ocelli, on the upper front of the bumblebee head are very sensitive to UV light and seem to act as sensors for light levels, but unlike the compound eyes, they are not capable of forming useful images.

Alaska is home to over half of the 46 species of bumblebees recorded in the US including 4 species that are not found in any other states.
Scientific observation indicates that #bumblebees seem to be thriving there.

Forget boyband bedding plants (so 90’s, pretty but ultimately useless) and have these kickass #punks of the #wildflower world in your patch.

#Bumblebee visiting another white #flower in the garden, an Althea (aka Rose of Sharon). The #bumblebees seem to prefer white #flowers around the house, or maybe it just appears that way because they are more noticeable against the white.
