For context I live in Ontario, Canada. It's been extremely hot the last week and just today the humidity finally broke.
I've never in my life seen green bees before?!?!
Maybe I'm wrong cause I just used Google Lens and they're coming back as "Sweat Bees"
Where are you from and what other colours have you seen before?!
My husband said sand bees are blue.
I've legit only ever seen yellow so apparently I don't get out AT all 😆
I have a ton of these in my yard today. Want to know what kind they are and if they are beneficial or not.
sorry i couldnt get a closer shot. this was at noon on a nice warm day (:
Hi I just wanted to pop in and check if any of you could inform me on this. My neighbor no longer lives here and so the backyard is quite overgrown since she no longer maintains it and two days ago my brother noticed this when taking out the garbage. Searched it up and it said they’re looking for a new home. Just wanted to confirm and I’m questioning if I should be worried as they are still there. Sorry for the bother but a bit concerned, thank you
Update: About half an hour after I posted this the swarm flew away I’m assuming they found a new home however a few were left behind. Should I still call about the bees that were left behind?
I got no clue if it could be a queen or not but its really cool and i love bees
I didn’t realize they were on the ground of my shed and I accidentally disturbed their home yesterday. What kind of bees are these? Should I contact anyone?

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.

found this gal injured in a parking lot, took her home and feed her some sugar water and gave her flowers, she seems to be doing better now :)
Hey everyone, found these guys when cutting my lawn!
Are they bumblebees? They are chill and so fluffy.
So do I just leave them bee 🐝?

Forewarn, I know nothing about bees really but we tend to have a hive of honeybees in our tree most years, they’ve been happy in there this year but today we’ve noticed a huge group of bees on the lawn, there’s one section of this which is more active than the others - I assume there’s a queen in there. But also there’s still plenty of activity going in and out of the actual hive. Do I need to do anything or is this normal? They’ve been there for at least a couple of hours but maybe a lot longer
UPDATE:
Had a local couple come to take a look, said it’s uncommon behaviour but they’ve seen it before
They think it’s regular swarming activity, the colony has split into two but they’ve taken a rest on the grass due to it being hot, they’ve put a transport hive here and will be leaving it for them to move into
There are some cute little fellas collecting wool off of my lambs ear. AI says it is a wool carder. Located in Ontario Canada.
Saw this guy in the garden, much larger than the other bumble bees in the garden. Just curious as to what it is. Thanks
I just got stung in my car on the way to work. What kind of bee is this? Or is it a hornet??
