fun fact the bees that the bee movies represents is an invasive species of bee that has a negative effect on environment because they (un-like the native solitary bees) harvest pollen in a way that the flower can not reproduce any more pollen after they are finished

Also called furrow bees in England, I think. They are solitary bees attracted to the salt on your skin. Most solitary bees do not sting unless provoked. They are the only bee building their nest, and don't have hundreds of sisters to sacrifice for defense like Honey bees do. I've never even had one land on me yet, looking for sweat--would find that quite interesting if I didn't just react and jump to scare it away before I realized what it was!

All bees suffer from predatory wasps, Bee wolves, are just one of those. It's a balanced system so not something you can do away with. I have lots of types of bees and the wasps here like my white flowers most--(so you could encourage bees most with colored flowers maybe?) The Bumble bees in my yard often seem to prefer the flowers that Honey bees like--European things like lavender. I have lots of native plants so I work at putting out enough floral resources for all of them! (I don't encourage Honey bees and I've no idea where they commute from, but both Honey bees and Bumble bees can fly for miles for flowers. Solitary bees stay closer to home and have much smaller areas that they forage in. since you call them Humble bees, if you are in Europe, then Honey bees belong to your system, unlike in America, where they were imported for pollination, honey and beeswax production.

I'm not sure if they found holes in the nearby row of elm trees to nest but I can't figure where they are. It is affecting mostly upper level units. The people want them gone, regardless of them being beneficial. I am considering drilling chambers into pieces of wood and hanging them on the property to control the bee harborage, then relocating them to hatch and emerge in a place where they are less of a nuisance.

@SuperManning116 жыл бұрын
kingrapid - this is what my understanding is: Honey bees live in a hive and produce honey, and are not native to North America. They are also not as efficient at pollination as the solitary bees. Solitaries do not live in hives but rather are a one-woman operation (since they are females) that hunt for pollen and nectar themselves and then find a reed or tube in which to lay their eggs. Because solitaries have to leave enough pollen with each egg to be sufficient to feed the larva that will emerge unattended- (rather than being constantly fed and groomed as they would have been in a hive) they tend to be much more effective pollinators than Honey Bees. And yes, bumblebees are just one example of solitary bees. Tomato flowers, for example, need the strength and size of a bumblebee to properly pollinate so you definitely want to have as many around as possible if you grow tomatoes in your garden, and honestly who doesn't? I hope this is clear--it's still a bit new to me as well.

@hamsterama6 жыл бұрын
+kingrapid I think the main benefit from solitary bees is the entertainment factor. They are fun to watch! You couldn't get up close to a bumblebee or a honeybee hive without proper equipment to prevent you from being stung. Mason and leafcutter bees, on the other hand, will let you get right up close to their nests, and you won't have to worry about being stung. I find that the leafcutter bees that visit my backyard are rather shy. But the mason bees are lots of fun to be around. They're not scared of people, and they will buzz all around you to check you out.
