Wool carder bee - defending territory

The male Wool Carder Bee is not to be trifled with. A visit to his patch is a sure way to end up in the grave.

Didn't even invited her to dinner, skipped everything and went right for it.

[@cowboy5441]

This nigga really jus came from behind and went down to business

[@s000mable]

I’ve had them dive bombers my head while gardening they are so cute Once I also heard munching and saw one flying off with a cotton wool ball of the plant. Cutest thing I’ve ever seen

[@MrPleh]

lmao he just went for it no fucks given. nature wtf

[@edwardreyes7941]

lmao i know rigth?

[@opticulus]

Actually...... He did give a fuck......

[@edwardreyes7941]

Benjamin Wyngaard lmao youre funny

[@franzpattison]

The soft Scottish voice is so relaxing haha. I can't help but wonder how they luck out to have their cameras pointed in the right spot at the right times. Particularly at such close zoom and wide aperture.

[@IamMortui]

Well done with the music choice of this video. Very well made.

[@welcometomybrain7385]

Beautifully made film

[@webuyhousesdenvercolorado]

I see them in my garden pollinating the mugworth everyday. I'm so fascinated by how observant and swift they are. And yes, they are VERY territorial. They even nip at the grasshoppers. lol

[@jrfreki674]

woolcarder bees do not usually kill other bees. I've spent hours watching them on my lavender, and I've never seen any bee not fly off, upset, but perfectly healthy.

[@kypie8]

I have lavender & I HAVE actually seen them harm other bees by knocking them onto the ground. It’s also not ok that they are hoarding the nectar from & scaring off other pollinators, driving them to seek out other nectar sources when sources are already limited & being depleted at an alarming rate

That lamb's ear also makes for pretty decent toilet paper in a pinch.

[@TeamCandiru]

Thanks for this! My days of using nettles are over!

[@Half_Centaur]

+Team Candiru Haha, can't say I've ever used nettles. I've used sticks, rocks, and even snow but that lamb's ear is as good as Charmin.

[@nitroexsplosion]

The way the Wool Carders hover around and observe is pretty awesome.

[@silverfox9004]

I love these guys lol, a few years ago there was a male one who had a patch of salvia in my yard. I love how aware of their surroundings and active they are. I might make a patch of lamb's ear to encourage them to stay

[@zezipopvlogging1501]

Wow, i have never been so into bugs!

[@TeamCandiru]

Amazing! That's music to our ears. Do please share and subscribe if you want to see more.

[@AliG8torGamers]

Like me, dont waste time on wine and dine just get down to it and when am done keep flyin'

[@p.georgie]

put his attack on 0.25×.. the way he latches on is awesome 😉both times

[@danielwalker5682]

Nice film.

[@tracybowling97]

Wow! Wow! Wow!

[@christmanoukian3957]

What's the name of the song ??

[@sacredsermon2027]

Is it possible to make top speed maneveurs like insects

[@mericarslan2497]

Would it also sting or attack a human if it entered it's territory?

[@TeamCandiru]

+Meriç Arslan Good question, the answer is no. Interestingly they don't actually sting. The bee that did the attacking is a male and male bees don't have stingers. Instead they have three sort of spines or mini antlers on the tip of their abdomen that they use to attack with. Thanks for commenting!

[@caseytorn]

+Team Candiru Will the bee try surprise anal on me? Thanks for answering.

[@TeamCandiru]

+casey downs interestingly enough there is a type of fabric softener that mimics bee sex pheromone. So yeah maybe...

[@christianremache1731]
