Colin PurringtonTwo cocoons of the Georgia mason bee (Osmia georgica) bejeweled with bright orange frass and leftover pollen grains, and separated by a layer of chewed leaves. Fresh from my insect hotel and likely a day or two away from emerging. Males will come out first and wait, very impatiently, for the females to arrive. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsectHotel</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHotel</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hymenoptera</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollen</a>

Colin PurringtonJust baking the insect hotel, as one does, to kill any dermestid beetles, book lice, and mites that are hiding in the cracks after the bee and wasp cocoons have been removed. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHotel</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsectHotel</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wasps</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hymenoptera</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a>

Bob BenzSpring fever. After a relatively rough winter, things are warming up and the forest is humming with tree frogs, wood frogs, and spring peeps. Ramps (Allium tricoccum) are starting to emerge in our ramp beds. And we've set up a bee hive. Best of all, first snake of the year: an eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis). <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frogs</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/athensoh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#athensoh</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/snakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snakes</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spring</a>

Jake in the desertThe other day they announced 'The Hive' expansion for Bee Simulator coming to Switch and other consoles later this year. I played Bee Simulator on Xbox and loved it (I love both bees AND animal sim games, so it's a no-brainer). I should jump back in. Curious to try out this expansion. Might even make me double dip for Switch 😂 Trailer: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4nnZ_AQ8Nc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4nnZ_AQ8Nc</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/BeeSimulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeSimulator</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NintendoSwitch</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/simulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simulation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SwitchGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwitchGames</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BeeGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeGames</a>

The Bee GuyThank you for reading and caring. PLEASE <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/repost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repost</a>. Don’t just like, <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/share" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#share</a>. The more informed, the more queens survive and the more <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a> we have. Simple. Our native wild <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> are in serious trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can. Thanks again for helping! For caring. For sharing. A little bit of good in a world that so needs it. 🌍🐝🙏🏼 9/9

The Bee GuyThese ‘between flight stopovers’ can last for up to an hour and <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> are not always careful about where they take them - sometimes the middle of a footpath can be the ‘ideal’ spot! So if you see a big <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebee</a> chilling on the ground don’t always presume she needs rescuing! 5/9

The Bee GuyIt’s that time of year - people asking us about <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bumblebees</a> - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to. Please <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/repost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repost</a>. Every <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/queen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queen</a> that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> for next year! So this is important to share. Thank you. 1/9

NelsonWhile walking in the woods, I came across dozens of Frigid Mining Bees (Andrena frigida), making their homes in the dirt of the trail! They were sunning themselves on tree trunks, and buzzing along the ground looking for promising locations to dig, or for mates.This one was basking by what I presume was its nest. Unlike cellophane bees, they apparently do not leave open entrances, but fill their doorways with dirt that they "swim" through.:inaturalist: <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/265101552" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/265101552</a><a href="https://jawns.club/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

NelsonI can tell it's spring because the Unequal Cellophane Bees (Colletes inaequalis) are out and about in my neighbor's yard! Please enjoy this bee investigating a crocus. (Sadly these flowers are introduced and may not help this native bee, but this bee is determined to find out.)If you're wondering why they're "Unequal", inaequalis in Latin apparently also means "impermanent"; they only emerge briefly.:inaturalist: <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/265105881" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/265105881</a><a href="https://jawns.club/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iNaturalist</a>
