Bigger Bees?

[ajthemackem]

Been noticing over the last week that all the bumblebees are bloody huge this year. Any reason for this, or are they all queens?

Bumbles are all male if it’s the drones you’re talking about. I think.

Beads?

Aye I’ve noticed that too. Suspect with the warmer weather the queens are coming out of hibernation to find a nesting site.

Just had a look and you’re right. Female bumblers can sting repeatedly not just once then die anarl.

I've noticed the big bees as well! There seems to be on on the pansies in my hanging basket on a regular basis.

Did the super hornets actually get here last year, or were they too chicken shit?
