RE: Bee Down! What To Do When You Find Any Bee Crawling And Looking So Helpless On The Ground?

in #bees8 years ago

@afrog thank you!
I see .. warmth .. the warmth indeed ..
you should try giving high five to bees he he try too
hahah
this one is a worker?
it's not the queen moss bee - they're not the same
I left the moss bee alone and thank you for confirming it's a queen
I'm excited to find more bees in my garden
I want a lot of them :D
I love them ^ ^

Sort:  

As I understand bees, the queen is almost bigger than workers and not flying out anymore. She is staying in the nest to produce eggs. She is a reproducing unit. All others are workers, drones and young queens. Young queens doesn't come back when they flew out. They are searching for a place to have a marriage and then spend the time in winter. But it is too early now. The are still larvas now. It's end of April. Queens escape later on in the summer. Before the initial queen in the nest is dying.
I love your movies.

@afrog thank you and thank you for the new information
I left her alone as I don't want to bug her if she's laying eggs
am just worried though .. I have 5 newts last year won't they eat her eggs or her too? and ants in the garden .. they're black so I wonder if they'd attack them too and not to mention your family members and toads as well
I hope that queen moss bee does procreate successfully
I'm really looking forward for more buzzing
poor queen.. she's born to die :(

You and me, we are queens too, in a manner. Born to die. It has nothing to do with poor. It's just nature and we are the same. One day, one year, a decade it doesn't matter. What we are doing in the given time, that counts.

@afrog indeed :D
but I'll live longer .. okay actually 90 is enough bwahahahaha
just kidding :D
a very wise thought .. indeed indeed.. what matters is what we do with the time given to us .. cheers to that!

Yes, Cheers! Happy, happy!
