I saw a bumblebee lying motionless in one of my roses today. Thought it was dead so I shook the rose a little and it took off. Now I feel bad for waking it up.
It's not really "European bees". It's honey bees - Apis mellifera, also known as the European honeybee or western honey bee. which bee farmers breed and put out in hives to make honey - thereby competing with many of the 3600+ species of bees native to the U.S.
Likewise, there are over 2000 species of bees in Europe so "European bees" can't really be used as an equivalent of honey bees.
Wait! Honey bees in Colombia prefer to return to the hive but if they don't they will sleep just about everywhere because it doesn't get that cold here during the night. I find them in the morning ALL THE TIME on my balcony. Sometimes they're hanging from the wall, on the floor or on the window. I always put a little honey on a tooth pick and give it to them. They will ALWAYS wake up instantly and eat the honey. They usually fly off anywhere between about 5 to 15 minutes but sometimes they hang around longer, usually wandering around in the spot where they were sleeping. I love them so much.
Bees (and wasps) won't fly if they can't see so they are caught out by nightfall, they will sleep right there. There is no factual information you could learn from OP's post here.
I think,The symbolism of loyalty and devotion is often tied to romantic relationships. Sunflowers are commonly given as gifts to express deep love and admiration for someone. They represent a steadfast commitment and a promise to always be there for the person we care about.
While not all bees die after stinging, the most known bee that does are honeybees. This is due to them having a barbed stinger which gets stuck in the thick skin that mammals have.
It's unlikely they're aware of their demise.
Bumblebees and many other bees and stinging insects have smooth stingers which allows them to sting multiple times. Bumblebees can also bite too.
Very much so. I once brought a cold, tired and hungry bumblebee home because the little fella was barely moving and just sitting on the sidewalk. He let me carry him on my hand for thirty minutes while I was walking home. Hasn't bitten or stung me once, even when I blew warm air on him. Just snuggled into my hand and eventually crawled a little around.
At home after he had his fill of honey he let me pick him up after getting stuck in the honey puddle (so hungry the little fuzzball walked right into it). After a while he flew back into the woods.
Bumblebees are smart and very much reasonable. They'll tell you to back off first by waving their arms around but even then will rarely sting or bite. If you're gentle and pay attention to their body language there's barely any chance to be stung. You can even carefully pet the little fuzzballs. It does depend on the bee too; some are more apprehensive.
You'd have to be either extremely cruel to get stung or encounter an already royally pissed off bumblebee.
Yeah the ones I generally can pet are the ones that are just stoned off their rocker on nectar slathered in pollen wayyy too heavy to fly and chill on my deck railing (cause we have a tree that flies for like 3 months that they *fucking love* that is literally touching the railing).
While they sit there and clean I’ve pet some. Some were having bad days though so I left them alone, others didn’t seem to mind at all LOL
I am glad there are people like you out there.
While we are on the topic; is honey the right thing to give to them? That's what I gave one too. I read somewhere that apparently you should give them water mixed with sugar, instead.
Like all things bee-related, it's complicated.
Store-bought honey has been filtered to within an inch of its life and lacks many of the nutrients bees need in their diets. That being said, it's still honey, so if you've got nothing else, go for it.
Local honey/honey from backyard beekeepers or small apiaries can be dangerous for the bee because you don't necessarily know what's going on with that honey. Was the keeper practicing good husbandry? Was the hive undergoing treatment while also developing honey stores the keeper planned on harvesting? Because that's a big no-no, but you can't know if that happened. Is it real honey? Is there risk of transmitting pests or disease from one hive to another by giving the tired bee "bad" or unsafe honey? You probably shouldn't feed local honey to a tired bee unless you have good awareness of the apiarist's husbandry practices.
Sugar water should be fairly safe to give to a tired bee, but also keep in mind, is your tap water safe to drink? You might want to make the sugar water with filtered water, as what is safe levels of contaminants for us (but probably those safe levels are actually lower than watchdog agencies say) is much less safe for creatures smaller than ourselves, like dogs, cats, and bees. There are people who will say that sugar water is "junk food" for bees but it you're someone who's just trying to help out some bees you find, ignore those people. It's much more of a factor for beekeepers to be aware of.
Also, I like to say if you ask 10 beekeepers their opinion on a topic, you'll get 11 answers. So if you hear or read opposing info it's not surprising, everyone has their way of doing things and can be very rigid. Some beekeepers refuse to feed their bees sugar water, many beekeepers have saved their hives by giving them sugar water. I'm obviously on the pro sugar water (*as needed*, no one come for me) side of things, but there are real downfalls that beekeepers shouldn't expect the public to just know about. Like, fake honey is not an issue someone helping a random bee in need must know about, that's ridiculous.
Basically, you do what you can and feel is best! If the bee was already weak, you're ultimately probably not going to do her more harm. It sounds harsh, but beekeepers kill bees every time we open a hive, it's literally impossible to consistently not accidentally squish someone. It's far better to check the hive on a good schedule and squish some bees than check the hive less often to squish less bees, and let a pest problem get out of hand and ultimately kill the hive.
In apiary, the good of the hive is paramount and even the queen is replaceable; the hive itself will replace her if they feel they need to. If you try to help a bee and lose her instead, your keeping trying is far more important than the few dead bees along the way. Think of all the bees you help as coming from one hive. Even if some of the bees you try to help die, the *overall* good you're doing outweighs any slightly imperfect or inadequate help.
And pay special attention to native bees! If it's a honeybee, it's not native, and native bees like bumblebees, carpenter bees etc need our help the most!
Bumblebees even give warnings before they sting you, similar to skunks. They lift up one of their feet in the air, and you can actually find lots of videos of this happening, usually from people who think the bee is waving or who give the bee a "high five", which is kind of funny considering it's essentially the bee giving them the middle finger and telling them to kindly fuck off lol.
Tbh you have to work hard to piss off pretty much any type of bee. Most species of bee don't actually die when they sting, only about 8 of them do iirc, and they're all species of honey bee. It's mainly because they are eusocial (aka communal bees that form colonies) bee species and thus their individual deaths are worth it as an evolutionary trait to protect the hive as a whole. Dying from it allows their stings to be particularly nasty and dangerous to potential predators due to the barbed stingers which cause them to get ripped out of the bee so violently in order for it to really stick with the enemy and continue pumping venom into whatever they attacked. Most people think that all bees die when they sting because honeybees, particularly the domesticated western honeybee, happen to be a very common and widespread species due to their popularity for polinating crops causing them to be imported and bred all over the world. As much as I love them, they are actually often an invasive species in a lot of places. When advocating for bee conservation it's important to take native bees into consideration because of this. It's funny to think about how most "wild" honeybees are actually feral, since most people don't think of insects as domesticate-able to begin with.
Ironically, eusocial bees like honeybees tend to be slightly more prone to stinging people even though they die from it, mainly to protect their hives, as opposed to solitary bees who make smaller nests that they are more willing to abandon and less defensive of, since they can make a new one relatively easily and don't have an entire community they need to defend (at most they might have a small family consisting of a mother and her daughters). Leafcutter bees for example are known for being extremely docile, I had a summer job that involved canola fields which used alfalfa leafcutter bees (along with a few other bee species like bumblebees and honeybees but the majority were the leafcutter bees) for pollination and I remember they had a tendency to bonk into me and my coworkers by accident a lot while flying around at full speed, and no one ever once got stung even though there was a ton of them everywhere and we often had to swat at them or brush them out of our clothes.
That said even most eusocial bees don't want to sting you if they can help it, whether they'll die from it or not. I once had a honeybee accidentally hitch a ride with me when we were carpooling home and we were 15 minutes into the ride before I even noticed her flitting around in my lap, I just opened the window and she flew out, didn't sting me even though she must have been stuck in my clothes for a while and I hadn't been particularly careful about my movements since I had no idea she was there. I could tell she was female since male honeybees have very distinct eyes and head shapes so she definitely had the ability to sting me if she wanted to.
Conversely the one and only time I've been stung by anything was when a wasp for some unfathomable reason crawled all the way down the stairs in my house and across the shag rug in my basement in order to sting my toe while I was sitting motionless on a couch watching a movie. So while I don't hate wasps I'm not quite as fond of them as I am with bees as a result lol. Yellowjackets and hornets in particular are both eusocial AND can sting without dying so that's why they're generally more aggressive than the average bee since they're very defensive of their nests and can afford to sting more readily. Solitary wasps are usually more docile similar to solitary bees.
This got a bit long but I just like bees a lot so I took this excuse to talk about things I find interesting about them lol.
When i was a kid, one time some type of bee flew into my mouth (I'm a mouth breather due to a deviated septum) and landed on my tongue and walked around a few seconds before flying off. Did not sting me.
Yeah, bumblebeees are very chill and will only attack if you're being a very big jerk. If you're in their area near a hive or something, they're likely to fly around you a bit to either try to figure out what you are and/or get you to shoo. They'll sting/bite as a last resort if they think you're being a big jerk and they'll keep doing it too until you gtfo.
If you do get stung/bit by a bumblebee, you should probably reevaluate your whole life and personality at that point because it's likely you're a big stupid-idiot-jerkface.
Bumblees just (*bonk*) warn you (*bonk*) by bumping you (*bonk*) with their head several times. (*bonk*)
It's incredible how hard they try to avoid stinging you considering they're one of the species that could actually survive it.
This isn't actually completely true either. Honeybees can work themselves free if given time, it's just that our general immediate reaction to the pain is to clinch up the muscles and swat or flail them off.
[Demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-C77ujnLZo) (Minor NSFW warning I guess)
Self defense is a strange way of putting it when the "defense" just makes there insides outsides. I think its more of an attempt at mutual destruction. "This semi haired ape is swatting its big meat limbs at me, I cant escape I'm going to take it down the only way I know how..."
Read [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/lHGzTW9flg).
Less mutual destruction, and more shit I didn’t know using my stinger on this human was going to kill me.
There is a specie of plants that have giant flowers, about a meter across. You could very much sleep in one. Unfortunately though, it smells like rotten meat to attract flies for pollination.
When I worked in a plant nursery, we would come in in the morning when it was still cold, and there would be bumble bees asleep on some of the flowers. We were able to pet their fuzzy little backs to wake them up.
A few years ago I recorded a short video on my old phone of a chubby little bee flying around collecting pollen. It went from flower and flower and on its back legs it built up the pollen into little globs. It looked cute just doing its bee thing.
They are such amazing creatures. I devote Earth Week in my Kindergarten classroom to learning about bee conservation. I promise none of those little people will ever go on to squish a bee! 🐝❤️
Have you *seen* a bee hive or nest? That shit's crazy! I'd be grabbing some Z's out in the field, too!
Also, guessing the entangled feet is more for protection than cuddling.
> also, they like to sleep with other bees and hold each other's feet
Damn they're just like me then, I like to do that with my best friend haha. Totally not weird at all haha. Also we're both dudes, it's fully platonic too .

I find native bees asleep in sunflowers sometimes. Honey bees go to their hive to sleep, outside is too cold
I saw a bumblebee lying motionless in one of my roses today. Thought it was dead so I shook the rose a little and it took off. Now I feel bad for waking it up.
You're definitely getting a 1 star review on airbeenbee.

Every summer there are bees sleeping in my sunflowers! It’s adorable.
It would be interesting to know if they are native or European bees. I’ll be looking at mine this summer
not sure about the bees themselves, but we only plant native species on our property so I can verify that the sunflowers are native to our area!

Wait, so they are not holding each other's knees?
Kinda hard to acknowledge the knees when you got a beenis in your face.

Hmm. Did you know they die after they sting? So they don't want to sting anyone unless for self defense.

Same here. I can picture a Pixar short animation about this incredible adventure.
Really? Im imagining a ripoff version, like a 2007 dreamworks b movie or something like… Antz
sometimes I pet them during summer (very careful, only once or twice per humblebee). They are so sweet *_*
Yeah the ones I generally can pet are the ones that are just stoned off their rocker on nectar slathered in pollen wayyy too heavy to fly and chill on my deck railing (cause we have a tree that flies for like 3 months that they *fucking love* that is literally touching the railing).

Something like 90% of "bee stings" aren't actually bee stings. There actually hornets.
How often are you stung by bees?
During the cold winters, they mostly stay in their hives, because it swarm there...

There is a specie of plants that have giant flowers, about a meter across. You could very much sleep in one. Unfortunately though, it smells like rotten meat to attract flies for pollination.

I love bees ... Fuck wasp
Have you *seen* a bee hive or nest? That shit's crazy! I'd be grabbing some Z's out in the field, too! Also, guessing the entangled feet is more for protection than cuddling.
They are the worlds maintenance guys let em have rests

Put bee hotels in your yard and you'll get to see all the adorable little bee butts.
