@@owenwhitman6616 - A hypothesis is something that hasn't repeatedly withstood significant tests that would disprove it. It's an idea that hasn't been disproven yet. A theory is a hypothesis that has withstood multiple attempts to disprove it specifically. It usually takes quite awhile for a hypothesis to become a theory. I think there's more to a theory than just this, but I do know that this is a requirement. Theory gets misused a lot in the media, and I think that science has become important enough to political conversation that it's a good idea to get this particular bit of specific technical language to be consistent between common vernacular and science speak.

I have around 5 Bumblebees that love being around my front door. So much so that my 4yr old daughter is terrified to walk outside. I literally have to carry her to the car to leave. I have tried so many times to explain that they will not hurt her or me as long as they are left alone. One thing that I have noticed. They are very curious. If I walk outside and stand by the door. One bee will always come and fly up to me about 2 feet away and some days even closer. They have never tried to land on me or act aggressively towards me or my family. I leave them alone and they leave us alone type deal. Now they have their own problems. If 1 bee is what I call patrolling, if another bee flies up, they fly off as if they are fighting. Lol. I don't know if they are each territorial or what, but I really would like to know. My wife always wants me to kill them but I tell her no. I haven't ever seen any kinda nest near by so I am kinda lost in why they do this. Anyone knows these things, please let me know. Thank you and have a great day.

Bees of all sorts use landmarks to navigate around their area. Your house is likely close to a hive *and* a particularly good food source. All bees must make learning flights to figure out where they are and how to get back home. Them hanging out near your porch us likely this. And as the seasons turn those individuals die and new individuals need to learn their area, so there's always someone around. Also, depending on where you live the bees may know that your porch is a safe resting stop when it's too hot or if rain is coming. A bee in rain is a chilled bee, a grounded bee, and so a dead bee. Definitely don't kill them. They're not only harmless but beneficial. Most of the time people are not even stung by bees. They're stung by Yellow Jackets that look similar to bees to the untrained eye but are actually a wasp. They have ground dwelling nests and react violently to vibrations (most bees, wasps, and hornets don't like vibrations). I know far more about Honeybees than Bumblebees. What I do know is Bumblebees will not sting you unless they feel threatened or if their hive is threatened. Just keep your cool and y'all will be just fine.

I love bees and have rescued a few exhausted bees 🐝 in the last few years and they’re so adorable. I have had one this spring, fall fast asleep in one of my crocus flowers and she was absolutely coated head to tiny fuzzy tail, in buckets of pollen 🤣🙌🏽I took several pictures of her wibbling around to get to the scant sunbeam on the flower she fell asleep in 🥰 it is so freakin adorable 🤣even her eyes had pollen on them at one point 🤗one of those pics is my lock-screen. I have seen a bumblebee drinking water from what looked like some kind of tubular grass, like a marsh grass idk, but I got to learn just how long her tongue was, it looked like it was almost as long as her body 😳 You guys are awesome 😎🙌🏽

That note isn't a C. It's actually a G. You can see this both in comparing the frequencies (G4 is 391Hz, vs the appx 400Hz in the buzzing, with the closest C being C5 at 523Hz), and simply singing the pitch of the bee buzz while checking a tuner.

I think we may all have that one memory of our first insect sting that taught us insects aren't to be messed with. I was fooling around with a queen ant (one of the big ones with wings that are everywhere for a few days in spring) that had flown into our pool but was still around. She bit me and I ran to my mom and she was like "Well what did you do to it?" - "I was... bullying it..." - "I'm sure you're not going to do that again".

For carnivorous plants that is a trade secret, you have to use a tuning fork to release pollen from Sarracenia so that you can pollinate others. The flowers don’t release their pollen without that vibration

Well, we should worry about all polinators, because a lot of bumblebee populations are decreasing. Honey bees are relatively ok, because their home and partialy food are prowided by humans, and "wild" bees rarely have such pleasure.

Yes and no. A few hundred live together and raise the young together. But not with the sort of cohesion that Honeybees display. They're a social insect but not a super organism if that makes sense. Honeybees are truly a super organism.

I was about 5 or 6 when a much older neighbor boy, a teenager went up to a flower and got a bumblebee to get on his finger. He then showed me the bee and told me about them. He then put it back on the flower. He went on to be a Naturalist in a National Park.

@@BESHYSBEES Is there a difference in what they are called if they are getting frames with the bees? I'm still learning They aren't getting frames. They don't need them. Just getting a bunch of bees with a queen. They had bees last year. But the -25 temps for a week here killed them. So they have ready hives with comb and honey.

@@joeaarsen0 yes a package with 4-5 frames is a nucleus and bee’s by weight is a just packaged bee’s, always best to have 2 to 5 colonies in case they die out you can replenish a colony or boost one colonies numbers so it’s the main honey producer or for rearing new queens and the others are just support colonies

A couple of hypotheses for you to consider: 1) nectar containing yeast may be safer for bees than nectar without yeast for the same reason that beer is safer than creek water: alcohol produced by the yeast could suppress bacterial growth 2) the leaf-damaging behavior could arise from the original purpose of stingers, which was as ovipositors: some wasp species (relatives of bees) inject materials that soften the materials they are piercing with their ovipositors. Perhaps the stabbing is just a relict behavior exhibited by bees that are frustrated, because injecting fluids used to help them (from an evolutionary standpoint) get through a tough job of ovipositing.
