Albert Cardona<p>Nomada sp.: first parasitic bee of the season. Technically, a kleptoparasite: robs the nests of other solitary bees and makes them their own.

Climate Jenny 2.1<p>Everyone wants to save the bees, but when do you get the opportunity? I did today! A large collection of precious <a href="https://biodiversity.social/tags/nativeBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nativeBees</span></a> specimens is being put into archive mode ASAP to protect against shutdowns. The local insect-loving community has sprung into action to protect these little bees from damage if they have to sit for a few months, or a few years. I’m just a <a href="https://biodiversity.social/tags/NativePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativePlants</span></a> plant person, but the solidarity felt lovely. </p><p>Thanks, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://arthropod.social/@theantlady" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>theantlady</span></a></span>!</p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>In case you didn’t know, honeybees are native to Europe. We brought them here. They aren’t “bad,” but they also shouldn’t be our primary concern. We have hundreds of native bee species here in the U.S. and many are tiny or solitary some are BETTER POLLINATORS than European honeybees. Native bees are just way harder to farm and control. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/savethepollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>savethepollinators</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/nativebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nativebees</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@friesen5000/113771578909485020" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.ca/@friesen5000/11377157</span><span class="invisible">8909485020</span></a></p>

Sisyphus with a Hat<p>The Sweat Bees are impossible to ID. This is one of the best photos I have been able to get. It is less than 10mm in size, feeding on a Rudbeckia in my garden.

Carolannie<p>A few years ago, I was visiting my sister and we watched the bees and bumblebees buzzing madly in her garden flowers. The Maximillian sunflowers were in full bloom. The pollen covered bees seemed to almost disappear in the yellow hearts.
