“Mason bee at work”

Location: Near Witzenhausen, Hesse, Germany

“Solvin Zankl carefully watches a two-colored mason bee build the roof of its nest.

Solvin knew the bee was memorizing landmarks around the nest so it could find it again. So as not to disorientate it, he edged his equipment closer each time it left. After two hours, the bee was using his equipment as a landmark. Two-colored mason bees use snail shells for egg-laying. They pack the shell with pollen and nectar for their larvae, then seal it with grass and sticky saliva. Humans sometimes consider snails to be pests, but this species could not survive without them.”

I made a new mason bee house. I noticed in the past they often had problems finding their nest hole so my daughter painted pansies so they would have an easier time.

Trying to make sense of haplodiploidy

I need it for the paper I have to write

Also, why are all the interesting articles about honeybees and not native ones like Mason bees or bumblebees or something

Remade my original meme bc WOW some of the responses to me calling wasps "dickheads" were uh.... *weirdly* aggressive (unanswered anons sitting in my inbox, I'm talking about you). So, PSA: just bc an insect is a dickhead, doesn't mean it's useless, and it 100% does *not* mean you should kill it.

And *again*, I will say - wasps are cool insects, they're very skilled creatures and they're obscenely beneficial to nature! In terms of them squatting in my house tho.... Idk like.... I'd prefer flatmates that actually respected my personal space tbh....... Some kinda compromise wouldn't go amiss.

Hey all! There are THOUSANDS of species of bees in North America (USDA-NRCS, 2016d). Look out for small bees flying out from the ground and try to identify them if you can! If you take photos of them, you can post them to iNaturalist for experts to identify and for advice. This could help you pick out flowers that are specifically good for those bees!

@smackins​ submitted: No pictures of Mom herself, but a mason bee has been working on filling this hole in the side of our apartment building and I wanted to share her finished work.

She’s done incredible work, good for her. Please...if you see her......tell her she’s perfect.

Little fuzzy buzzy friends hanging out in the bee house! There's also a lady paper wasp starting up a little nest in the empty top section. I haven't decided if she gets to stay or not. They're not a threat to the bees but I also don't super want a bunch of them in my backyard, especially if they're going to be territorial when I have to check on the bees.
