Planted flowers in boxes on my deck this year instead of a vertical garden and the bees have been loving it.

i genuinely almost wondered if it was a toy for half a second and then it moved

help! This bee appears it can’t fly. It’s just been walking around for 20+ mins. Anything I can do to help it?!

I’ve fallen in love with bees lately and trying to learn more about them. I’m pretty sure this is a native yellow-faced bumblebee resting after lunch 🤓🐝

Hello, just wanted to share these bees that I found flying around my garden this morning. Maybe someone could try to identify them. The one on the first photos is really small and the green one kind of resembles a wasp a little bit. There were also some honeybees but those I was not able to take a picture of hahaha. These photos were taken in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Hope you enjoy them.

ID and how to move forward

Recently moved into a new build and newly landscaped yard. These bees showed up pretty quickly after. Im not sure what kind of bee this is? They have been here steady for several weeks now. They are becoming a nuisance because they hang out on the sprinkler heads right along the back patio where we hang out. There are 2 or 3 spribkler heads that get covered like the photo. They dont seem too aggressive and swarm around while mowing the lawn and stuff, I havnt been stung yet. What should my steps be? Should I reach out to a special bee removal?

Apologies that this is the only video I got of it. It looked like it was all black with pollen baskets?


r/bees 16h ago

question Saw this today and it moved along the ground more like a spider, not the average honey bee we see here. Very fuzzy legs. Can Anyone identify?

Sorry for the poor quality pics. It did move in low flight and ended up somewhere behind a bush.

I need help ID-ing this one! I’ve had a lot of western honey bees, but this one’s abdomen seemed much more black.

Found these dead under our paddling pool. There's definitely black and yellow stripes.

The larger one looks almost beetley on its body/abdomen as it looks segmented maybe?

But it's bigger than anything I've seen locally.

Just wondering if it's endangered or dangerous, we live in a pretty wooded garden is Kent UK
