The sun came out, and the air warmed up, and my apricot tree was vibrating with pollinators. I've never seen such a variety so early in the year. I love these tricolored bumblebees. I think of them as candy corn bees. One cool attitude shot, and a blurry shot that shows off the colors better.

As usual at this time of year we have people on worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their garden.
‘Are they dangerous?’
‘Should I have them removed?’
‘Will they be there forever?’
Here’s a quick #bumblebee #lifecycle thread to explain.
Please #repost / #share for the #bees.

Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies.
These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period.
