@Fraggle_Chick If you have a wee film or video of them, we can probably help you identify them.
You most likely have tree bumblebees, but still, there’s a very slim chance they are honey bees.

Hanging on this borage flower is a red-tailed worker bumblebee! Borage is a great food source for bumblebees later in the season as it can flower through the summer into the autumn.

Dear councils, Please reduce needless over-mowing of our public spaces, green corners and roadverges, and avoid weedkillers and pesticides! Less work, fossil fuel use, cost. More wildlife, wildflowers, insects. 🐝

In case you’re not aware, an #Asian #Hornet has been sighted in Tamworth in Staffordshire. Follow the link to find out what to look for & what to do if you’ve spotted one.

Right now, the #AmazonRainforest is burning. Sign our petition calling on world leaders to #ActForTheAmazon and put the emergency at the top of the #G7 agenda. And every global agenda after that

When you go after honey, the thing is not to let the bees know you’re coming. If you have a green balloon, they might think you were part of the tree, and if you have a blue balloon, they might think you were part of the sky. Which is most likely? ~A.A.Milne #TuesdayThoughts

My book (Dancing with Bees: A journey Back to Nature) has been illustrated by wildlife artist and naturalist John Walters @JWentomologist, whose paintings I just love! Here's one he did recently...

Twitter is FULL of beautiful leaf-cutter images! I took this one a few years back of a female Patchwork Leaf-cutter bee (Megachile centuncularis). Look at the pollen she's collected. It's dusty, so falls off quite easily as she forages, making her an awesomely good #pollinator.

Q: How many #wasp species do you think there are in the UK?

A: Approximately 9,000

Of these, only 9 species are social. Here's a great page to help identify the social species...

My book goes to the printers today. Goodness, I can't believe I'm actually writing the words 'my book'!

#BumblesoftheWorld would not be complete without delving into the darker side of #bumblebee life, and so this month features one of around 30 described parasitic #cuckoo bumblebees, the Red-tailed cuckoo (Bombus rupestris). https://t.co/RXAyKFMhMJ

Summer solstice. May these extra daylight hours bee full of sweet sunshine and a joyful buzz.
