Thank you to Tracey Carter for sending in this fascinating time-lapse of a bumblebee nest being constructed in her shed! 🐝 The mound of fluff that is bulging out and moving across the floor apparently wasn't there before, but appeared when the bumblebees started building the nest. It seems the bumblebees have moved a load of old shredded newspaper and plastic bags, and it looks very cosy! | Bumblebee Conservation Trust

This brilliant footage shows one of the UK's rarest bumblebees - a Shrill carder bee. They are so named because of their noticeably high-pitched buzz! This lovely video was taken last summer at Cliffe Pools in Kent, by volunteer Alan Cobb. | Bumblebee Conservation Trust

Buff-tailed bumblebee queens are some of the hardest-working mums in nature – if they could tell us how they spend the year, it would go something like this 🐝👑 Mid to late summer 💛 I leave home after 6 weeks to find a male to mate with. 🚹 Looking for: a male from another nest. Males live for 1-2 weeks. Don’t wait around! 🌷 Now a widow, I feast on pollen and nectar. I must stock up for winter hibernation. Autumn and winter ❄️ I spend the entire winter hibernating alone.

Where do new bumblebee queens go in winter? They hibernate underground! In this fascinating video, a Buff-tail queen (Bombus terrestris) and Red-tailed queen (Bombus lapidarius) are seen looking for a place to hibernate. The only time bumblebees really dig is when they are about to go into hibernation, which is how new queens survive over winter. It is very rare to witness bumblebees doing this, so to witness two queens potentially doing it in the same place is especially rare! Amazingly, three

What should you do if you accidentally uncover a bumblebee nest? 🤔 This video, sent by Julz Sellars, is a fantastic example of how you can welcome bumblebees into your garden and protect them after accidentally disturbing their nest. This bumblebee nest was uncovered when a Wendy house was broken down. The entrance was then covered back up with a plant pot, leaving the bumblebees to happily zoom in and out of the holes 🐝💨 “On a personal note, the bumblebees have helped my thirteen-year-old da

Look out for these Tree bumblebee behaviours this summer: 🐦 Tree bumblebees prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite. 🌡️ In hot weather, Tree bumblebees will work together to fan their nest to keep it cool. ❌ Bumblebees don’t gather in swarms (that’s honeybees). However … 🕺 Male Tree bumblebees perform a nest surveillance – they gather in a little dancing cloud outside a nest’s entrance. They are waiting for new queens to emerge. ⚔️ Mati

📸 Caught on camera: winter-active bumblebee nest! In January supporter Polly Mair was amazed to see Buff-tailed bumblebees flying in and out of her hedgehog house in Sussex, so she took a peek and found a fully active colony! 😱 Most bumblebee colonies die off naturally at the end of autumn, with only new queens surviving by going into hibernation until spring. However in milder (normally southern) parts of the UK, winter-active Buff-tailed bumblebees are now regularly recorded, even when there

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
