#PollinatorWeek #NevadaAgriculture #NativeBees
Longhorn bee season is slowing down but if you look carefully you can still see groups of males settling in for togetherness sleepy time in the evening. 😴 [Alameda, CA 6-18-26] #bees #nativebees
It's #PollinatorMonth—take action for native bees! 🌼🐝
Will you urge your Senators to ensure the upcoming #FarmBill supports healthy habitats for #nativebees and all #wildlife? https://t.co/TcXug7lnWG
I never get tired of appreciating Hylaeus bees, always contenders for top “Wait, those are bees?” when you point them out to people. Between them and bright green Agapostemon, quality gateway bees combo. [Alameda, CA 5-26-26] #bees #nativebees
This fearsome male Leafcutter bee diligently patrolling his turf… is much smaller than he looks. He’s lost half a sniffing stick, but it hasn’t slowed him down. [Alameda, CA 6–6-26] #bees #nativebees
In this edition of Advanced Bee Grooming 101 - this male Colletes cellophane bee grooming with two of three legs from one side. Quality skills, would recommend. [Alameda, CA 5-23-26] #bees #nativebees

Why are female Melissodes longhorn bees always in a hurry? Because they deal with crazy traffic like this all the time. Dodging a male longhorn bee... who's being chased by a male Megachile perihirta, Western Leafcutter Bee. [Alameda, CA 5-22-26] #bees #nativebees

3) This Lasioglossum kincaidii. I think she’s a female because males have longer sniffing sticks (although this one losing half of one does add to the impression). They don’t have very prominent pollen-collecting scopa. 🤔 [Alameda, CA 5-29-26] #bees #nativebees 3/3
2) This Agapostemon subtilior female. They’re extremely dedicated to their work. I spotted two more later when it warmed up for a bit. [Alameda, CA 5-29-26] #bees #nativebees 2/3
Too chilly and drizzly for native bees at lunchtime today but these three boldly sallied forth anyway (and got stuck waiting for a warmup):
1) This unusually small male Longhorn bee. He’s the runt of the litter, he’s not the quitter. [Alameda, CA 5-29-26] #bees #nativebees 1/3
Hylaeus masked bees are out and about in proper numbers now - enough to cause the occasional traffic jam. [Alameda, CA 5-18-26] #bees #nativebees

Female Melissodes Longhorn bees tend to be both hurrying and skittish because they’re outnumbered by a half-dozen frantic males so this one was unusually cooperative to let me record this clip like that. [Alameda, CA 5-26-26] #bees #nativebees
Your latest occasional reminder that we all remain jealous of bees' superior backscratching skills, as demonstrated by this Halictus tripartitus. [Oakland CA 5-17-2026] #bees #nativebees

Someone told the bees about #WorldBeeDay because on my way home from work after 6pm the native bees in all weight categories were still active. [Alameda, CA 5-20-26] #bees #nativebees

#WorldBeeDay #Pollinators #NativeBees
For this #WorldBeeDay, I present this noted innovator Ceratina small carpenter bee who thought “Collecting pollen with six limbs is fine, but if I also use my tongue as a seventh-“ Presented in actual frantic speed vision. [Alameda, CA 5-15-26] #bees #nativebees
The carpenter bees were already on the move just after 7am this morning. They can sense a 80+ degree day coming. 🥵 [Alameda, CA 5-18-26] #bees #nativebees

I’ve been seeing fewer Hylaeus bees the last few years but it looks like they’re returning in more usual numbers this year. As always around the neighborhood, Aeonium arboreum flowers are their favorite. [Alameda, CA 5-14-26] #bees #nativebees
Notable lunchtime bee observation of the day: my first male Halictus tripartitus of the year. The previous earliest were on May 25th last year. [Alameda, CA 5-12-26] #bees #nativebees
