I was very lucky to visit the Peak District and spot this rare Bilberry bumblebee. Our project @BuzzingPeak have done amazing work in they community and schools to help spread the word about this bumblebee. #BeesNeedsWeek #wildlifeconservation #nature #tuesdaymotivations

I’ve been enjoying spotting all the little worker bumblebees out and about. Spring is a time when you can find some really small workers. This is because the Queens have to forage on their own, along with the small supply of food that is available to the queens.

Lots of #bees are starting to emerge, I spotted a female Hairy-footed flower bee, that some could get confused as a bumblebee but is actually a solitary bee. One fun characteristic of the Hairy-footed bee is how very quick and nippy they are when flying about. #wildlife #nature

The Early #bumblebee (Bombus pratorum) is a spring specialist, as its name suggests! 🌸 Queens are one of our earliest bumblebees to emerge from hibernation every year, and males can be seen as early as April or May.

Have you noticed all the bumblebees crawling or flying low to the ground? New Queen bumblebees have started emerging and have been busy feeding up and now are looking for the prefect nesting spot. #bumblebee #wildlife #nature

#Spring 'officially' starts two weeks from today in the UK, but our emerging #bumblebee queens seem to think it's here already! Share with us your bumblebee highlights from this week 👇

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

Around 90% of all flowering plants are believed to be pollinated by animals, mostly by insects 🐝🦋

Bees make up approximately 10% of these species! So do something for bumblebees today - share our cause, sow some wildflower seeds, spread love like pollen! 🌻

[Buzzing London @BuzzingLondon]

It does not take much to make a difference for a #bumblebee. Just a pot on a balcony with some flowers to feed from, helps a #bee get to where it needs. #FridayMotivation #nature #outdoors #wildlifephotography

[Buzzing London @BuzzingLondon]

Over weekend with the warmer weather, lots of queen bumblebees have emerged. Hungry and slow these queens are looking for the closest flowers. Do you have flowers in your garden ready for them? #flowers #bumblebees #gardening #wildlife #nature

Have you noticed any signs of spring coming? On my walk today I found Crocuses the first I’ve seen this year. I’m always hopeful to see a furry bottom hanging out of one. “Its beginning to look a lot like #bumblebee season!!” #nature #wildlife
