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.

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.

I would say bumblebees are the cutest insect, butterflies are the most beautiful, and dragonflies have to be the coolest.

Godspeed, ladies. Gather your pollen for a bountiful harvest for the colony.

I'm quite upset they didn't name this episode "How bees stay BEE-sy...as a bee?" Also does who else gets extremely uncomfortable by that C buzzing sounds? This noise overwhelmed me so much I had to speed up the video. But I really enjoyed seeing this compilation 🐝

Are there any other bees that make honey?? 'cause that's a crop too. One I really like.
