    I just watched a bee do this to my blueberry bush. The way the light was coming through I could see the pollen shower the bee. First time in my life I'd seen it. Very cool.

    Bee: hewo flower do you need to be pollinated?
    Flower: Yes
    Thats how bees question flowers

    I like bumblebees very much🌌
    In comparison with other pollinating insects like honeybees, bumblebees are very effective pollinators. They are first of all fast workers (for instance, they visit twice as many flowers per minute as honeybees), and because of their size, they can carry relatively heavy loads, which enables them to make long foraging trips. Also due to their relatively large size they often achieve better contact with stamens and pistils than smaller insects.
    In addition bumblebees are so cute and fluffy!❤️💛 💚 💙 💜 Thanks for video!

      I know that's the venom, but I feel like it was intended to be an erotic display of intimidation . . . .

    Never swat at a bee, many people have the misconception that a bee is just out to sting you, however this is the furthest from the truth! I have saved many bees that have trapped themselves inside dwellings and bouncing on the windows trying to escape. I simply wait for them to calm down a bit, offer my finger for them to perch on, take them outdoors to the closest flower.
