Almost forgot: Early again. I’m in danger of actually getting this time thing… Bees take a couple of weeks from egg to adulthood. We take almost nineteen years…and some of us never actually get there…regardless of age! Anyhow…here’s your bee à la landscape… #bees #time #adulthood #nature

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 48. Development from egg to adult bumblebee can take anywhere from 20 to 35 days depending on species and conditions. Half this time is spent as a larva feeding and half as a pupa in a cocoon. #bees #bumblebees #nature #science #education #wildlife

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 47. The first brood of female worker bumblebees produced in spring are often quite small in size as they rely solely on the queen for food whilst developing. Subsequent broods are nursed by a support network of workers. #bees #bumblebees #nature

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 46. Unlike male bumblebees female bumblebees develop from fertilised eggs. Early in the life of the nest the females produced are workers. It is only later in the summer that new queens are produced. #bees #bumblebees #nature #biodiversity #insects

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 45. Male bumblebees develop from unfertilised eggs. They have no father. So 100% of their genes will be in common with their mother, the queen. They also have no stinger! #bees #biodiversity #nature #environment #bumblebees #worldbeesanctuary

The Bee Guy @thebeeguy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 44. For most species of bumblebee the queens will usually only mate with one male. Most males never actually get to mate successfully but if given the chance will indeed mate with more than one queen! #bees #nature #bumblebees #worldbeesanctuary

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 41. Bumblebees have two antennae. They use these along with the mouth to smell and taste. Having two antennae means they can detect the direction a smell is coming from. #bees #biodiversity #nature #education #science #resist #bumblebees #noAI

Mornin’ Here’s a ginger… Common Carder bumblebee on Cosmos. No politics. No religion. No support acts. No carefully scripted apologies. No billionaire pleasing. No bullshit. Spend time in your gardens folks…not on paid for news feeds/socials. You’ll find nicer creatures and lower cortisol. #bees

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 40. 80% of solitary bee species are mining bees. They nest in the ground. To do this they must have access to bare soil. Help them - scrape back some soil/build a mound - south facing. And never use pesticides. Ever…ever! 🐝 #bees #nature

The Bee Guy @thebeeguy.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 39. Bumblebees have four wings. The two back wings are smaller and are usually attached to the bigger front wings by a row of hooks. This can sometimes lead to the mistaken impression that they only have two wings. #bees #bumblebees #nature #science

The Bee Guy @thebeeguy.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

No it’s not the founder of Microsoft! A bit ironic though that the pusher of pesticides does bear a striking resemblance to one of the creatures most susceptible to their deadly effects. Don’t you think? (Common Frog - one of only 3 species of amphibian to be found in Ireland). #frogs #nature

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 38. Relatively hardy and able to vibrate their bodies to create heat, #bumblebees are able to forage in cooler temperatures than honey bees. They can begin foraging earlier in the day and continue later into the evening. #bees #nature #education

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 37. Bumblebees don’t have ears! They rely on sensing sounds vibrating through nearby materials with all of their body. ‘The silence often of pure innocence Persuades when speaking fails.’ - Shakespeare #bees #bumblebees #nature #flowers #wildlife

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 36. Experiments have shown that #bumblebees are theoretically capable of flying at altitudes higher than Mt. Everest (29,000 feet). They have been observed in the wild at altitudes as high as 16,000 feet above sea level. #bees #nature #environment

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 35. Bumblebee tongues are red/orange in colour, long, stretchy and hairy at the end. Perfect for lapping up nectar. When in flight the tongue folds under the head and body inside a sheath. #bees #science #bumblebees #nature #education #pollinators

It’s late. I’m tired…out working in the fields from dawn to dusk…but here’s a thought…if we just turned all media access contraptions off and stayed at home for a week without consuming…everything would change. Anyway…here’s your landscape bee. Yeah…just a thought. #gentlerevolution #bees
