I thought I’d caught a bee napping in some beautiful daisies but after I snapped a picture, I realized it might be dead. Then I noticed the translucent object next to it. Any ideas what it might be?
How do honeybees navigate a big city? 🐝
When a forager bee discovers a patch of flowers, she returns to the hive and performs a precise series of movements that tells other bees the direction, distance, and the quality of the food source. The forager bee can even give exact angles relative to the sun’s position! With brains no bigger than a poppy seed, honeybees can accurately locate the exact flowers without ever being led there.
Its harder than i thought. I'm very happy with it

Maybe some bee lovers like what I have, a bee-themed stone carving.
Hi.
We've had these bees or wasps entering our home through a crack near our skylight window. My husband thinks they're honeybees but I think they're wasps. I know it can be hard to tell. Can anyone shed any light? These aren't great photos, sorry. I can add a video in the comments.
We trapped one in a glass just to get a closer look and released it outside after.
We are in the UK.
Thanks for your help.
My bees swarmed to a branch in my yard. They keep going to the same branch after I remove them. I don’t see the queen. Any ideas?
Hi all. First time posting on r/bees.
I found this bee today on the back door mat. It moved around on the ground in circles, so I decided to try and help it get it's strength back.
I live in South Africa, and it's currently winter, and a very cold day. So, I thought she must have been exhausted from looking for flowering plants.
I fed her some sugar water on a spoon. I feel terrible because maybe I didn't dilute the water properly and the sugar water wasn't good for her.
After feeding her the sugar water, she still walked around in circles. At one stage it looked like she opened her wings, but she didn't fly off.
I made the mistake of taking her into the garden, and leaving her near the plants. Then I filled up my bee water station with sugar water, and placed it next to her.
I went inside the house for a few minutes (15 minutes tops), and when I came back outside, she wasn't moving.
Please tell me I didn't kill her. All I wanted to do was help her, and i fear I might have killed her.
Did I end up killing the most important creature of my garden?
