I thought it was a joke that it looks more like a bumblebee than a queen/hamster 😝



Bees are great tho, I don’t want to stop more bee chat.

They don't really exist in Australia. I never realised just how big they were until I saw one in Europe. They're way more awesome than regular bees. Just fuzzy little things chilling by the flowers.

Plus they fly around like little drunks bumping into stuff, it's adorable :3:

As a really young child, I used to pet bumblebees. My Mom could not believe it.

Forty years later, in my own back yard, I rediscovered this. Yes, you can pet bumblebees.

I also have a ton of carpenter bees around my garage. They're just starting to emerge, and they are all over the place protecting their bores, while I'm working on cars or whatever. It's fun when people come over, because they freak out at how large & loud & swoopy they are. Eventually, they too learn to ignore them, because they are never aggressive and too nimble to even run into you. Though boy howdy they'll come close & sound like a Skyraider.

Bumblebees get big., like a whole inch long, which is big for a bee.

The really big ones you see in spring are queen bumblebees. Worker bumblebees vary in size but can be quite small in comparison.

Yeah bumblebees are extremely common here in :britain: (for now...) so I didn't bother noting it down, though I probably should have because as others have pointed out they don't exist everywhere! She was loving hench even for a bumblebee, is what I meant.

I'm very relaxed around bees and wasps in general but a hornet gets my attention immediately. In the summer when I'm trying to cool my place down at last light in the evening they sometimes fly in through the open windows and they sound like some sort of military drone. :stare:

Another adorable bumblebee fact:

Wikipedia posted:

Bumblebees do not exhibit the "bee dances" used by honeybees to tell other workers the locations of food sources. Instead, when they return from a successful foraging expedition, they run excitedly around in the nest for several minutes before going out to forage once more.

I used to pet bumblebees too they're very chill. Once the flowers start to bloom I'll keep a look out.

The bat sign made me smile, I don't understand why people are so scared of them. Yeah, rabies but...just leave them alone and you'll be ok. They just want to have a warm place too.

muscles like this!

Not exactly, but I think a lot of that channel's panda videos are filmed at zoos in China. My only source is that they had posted some specifically from Shanghai Zoo in December, plus I don't recognize most of the facilities from the usual channels I follow that see the zoos in Japan or the US:
