an orange fuzzy be next to its hole. it looks a bit like a honey bee only the abdomen is more wasp shapes and 5 thin orange stripes. i think the antennae look longer too.

Seizing the last bits of honey in the jar #honey #beekeeping #Uckermark #tasskaff

A jar of Uckermärkischer Bienenhonig (bee honey) sits on a wooden surface. The jar has frothy honey overflowing from the top and features a label with text in German promoting the natural benefits of honey and environmental conservation.

"Scientists discover some bees have tiny magnetic, internal compasses helping them navigate the world"
#Bees #Insects #Animals

New study: Some bees have tiny magnetic, internal compasses to help them navigate
Some animals are able to use iron-based magnetic compounds to detect and navigate via the Earth’s magnetic field, a sense called magnetoreception. Some bee species are among them.

Sweat bee collecting pollen from a corn tassel in my garden. The word on the street is that it's not particularly nutritious and spoils faster than pollen from insect-pollinated plants. #corn #maize #anthers #garden #bee #hymenoptera #insects #nature
