Is this bumblebee knitting? 🧶 This underside shot shows how female bumblebees collect pollen by brushing the fine grains out of their hair and into the pollen baskets on their hind legs. Still, how cute would it be to see bumblebee queens wrapped in tiny wooly jumpers as they settle down to hibernate over winter? 🔊 Sound up for that bee-utiful buzz! 🎥 Tom Luck | Bumblebee Conservation Trust

We all deserve a rest. Bumblebee queens are no different 👑 💤 Once they emerge from their nest, new bumblebee queens spend a lot of time resting on the ground or other surfaces. They are conserving energy by not being too active. 🕒 After a few hours or days, these new queens will gradually disperse to feed and mate before either setting up their own nest or finding somewhere to hibernate over winter. 🌷 If you come across a resting bumblebee, leave it be.

Shhh! This Buff-tailed bumblebee queen may have recently emerged from hibernation – so what is she doing here? 👑🎶 🔊 If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the queen's wings vibrating together. She appears to be basking on the mossy bank as she is too cold to fly. 🌡️ On a cool, sunny day like this, a bumblebee can raise their body temperature by dislocating their wings and shivering their flight muscles to reach the snug 30°C they need to fly. This is the buzzing you can hear. 👋 Th

It’s a bit like going back to sleep. Q: If you disturb a hibernating bumblebee queen and move her to a different space, will she survive? ❤️‍🩹 A
