Most likely this bee belongs to a human-kept hive, not an uncommon hobby here in the city. She was hard at work gathering nectar early this morning, and while I usually focus on native insects she was very enjoyable to watch.
Totally lucky serendipity that we put our bee hotel out on #WorldBeeDay.
Not sure who declares such things, but they clearly checked our plans before making it so. Nice.

#DYK? Planting a native pollinator garden is one of the easiest ways to help protect pollinators like bees, which are incredibly important to our ecosystem. 🌱

Every year, Dublin Cycling Campaign organise a tour of local community gardens. This year I joined in, starting at the Stillgarden distillery garden in Inchicore.
This is a small patch of ground at the entrance to an industrial estate. It was a dump, down a steep slope to the Camac. Now it is full of pollinator-friendly plants, with people from the community regularly coming to help garden.
#WorldBeeDay
Yesterday was #WorldBeeDay. So today helped a smol friend in need of warmth and nutrition: this little fella was holding on tight to a borage flower in our garden without moving so we decided to see if giving it warm honey water and a hand to rest and warm up on would help it with its day and it did!

Super 👍
Meine Wildbienen waren auch fleißig, die Röhrchen hier sehen genauso aus. Die Lage am Südbalkon wird sehr geschätzt! 😄
Daher hatte ich dieses Frühjahr noch 2 weitere Häuser mit Bambusröhren aufgehängt, bin unter die Groß-Vermieter gegangen ... Huii! 95 % Belegegung mittlerweile! :underheart:

I heard that today is #WorldBeeDay so here are some pics I took a few years ago in the backyard

World Bee Day? This is Bombus hyperboreus. She’s a brood parasite. B. hyperboreus seeks out the hives of B sylvicola or B polaris in the spring. She’ll kill the queen and let the dead queens first generation raise its young. #WorldBeeDay #bee #bumblebee #nunavut
It’s world bee day? Okay. Here’s Bombus sylvicola on Prickly Saxifrage. It also sports a couple hive mites near the base of its left wing. #WorldBeeDay #Nunavut #bee #bumblebee
World Bee Day? What an awesome celebration. There are some amazing pics on here today!

Serendipitous find for #WorldBeeDay from today’s shopping excursion to Midtown Scholar: original “Archer Fish” plate from Our Living World v.3, 1885 (an illustration which was lifted from the “Schützenfisch” plate in Brehms Thierleben v.8, 1876-9), w/ the #fish shooting at a #bee!

Apparently it's world bee day, so here is a photo of a bumble bee I took in Cologne in 2013 in the Rheinpark. I love how fluffy this bee's butt is.

This one is definitely NOT a bee. It's a fly. I'm just posting it here to troll the entomologists on #WorldBeeDay.
Another carpenter bee. Posted before, but I like this picture so I'm re-posting it for #worldbeeday .
@Zitronenkaffee
Bees, obviously, for #worldbeeday !
Hey #worldbeeday people:
I’m in Ontario, Canada. My step-mom in B.C. said we should look at getting some mason bees (a thing, evidently) to hopefully help out our flagging blueberry bush.
But the only local place we could find that normally gets in boxes of bees (a thing, evidently) says that a bee expert he knows says recent studies have suggested that mason bees, a west coast native, may threaten Ontario bees.
Any idea if that’s the case? Or where to get an Ontario equivalent to mason bees?
For #WorldBeeDay I share with you a snap of this two-tone orchid bee I spotted on my garage a few years ago.
Okay, for #WorldBeeDay, for real, my happiest bee discovery this year was seeing and learning about cellophane bees, _Colletes_.

Well, if it's #WorldBeeDay ... :)
Vertical photo, might need a click/tap!
This is a Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) on a Bee Sage (Salvia apiana). Kinda nice how that worked out — except that this bee is an introduced species here in California.
The sage is native, and more commonly known as White Sage, which is funny, considering how colorful it is when observed up close. More photos:
A #photo I took many moons ago; that of a #bee, with my beloved in the background. Since it's #WorldBeeDay, I remembered it exists & maybe You find joy in it as I do in that particular #memory.
I hear today is #WorldBeeDay!
This is an Agile Long-horned Bee (Melissodes agilis), one of my favorite visitors to our city garden with their lovely green eyes, fluffy bodies and pink antennae.
ETA: They also have beautiful pink veins on their wings, which you can see a little of in the photo. Quite striking!
It's #WorldBeeDay! I love bees, especially bumble bees. I worked for a beekeeper for one full year, so I got to do every seasonal activity of beekeeping. Each time I witnessed bees emerging from the hive, I cheered them on: "Go bees, go!"
Yes, I am a nerd for nature.
Stop using pesticides and rip out that environmental abomination you call a lawn. This photo of a Vosnesensky Bumble bee is from my lawn-free yard.
A Bumblebee on some Lavender flowers in the backyard. For #WorldBeeDay.
Pretty sure I was just trying to get some flower photos when this bee showed up. #WorldBeeDay #WorldBeeDay2023 #flowers #photography
The Bee Guy shares some home truths about saving the bees
"If you really want to help native wild bees:
Don’t keep hives, keep flowers. Wildflowers. This will mean you will ultimately keep native wild bees.
... Don’t spray poisons on your patch and forget neat and tidy – it’s so last century."

More Hunt's bumblebees checking out some mint. Hunt's are pretty common here, so probably my most photographed bee species. #WorldBeeDay #WorldBeeDay2023
This one is not a particularly good photo, and my confidence that it's a bee and not a wasp is kind of low. But ignoring all that - IT IS MAGNIFICENT! #WorldBeeDay #WorldBeeDay2023
There's more to bees than honey. A Leafcutter Bee and the leaves she cut to line her nest with the round pieces.

Auch wenn es belegt ist, ist es noch kein Beleg das es nützlich ist.
Es kann ja nicht ohne weiteres kontrolliert werden wie viele #Bienen wirklich überleben.
Oft werden diese Hinweise ignoriert oder mit Unverständnis entgegnet.
Verständlich, denn es wurde Geld und viel Arbeit hineingesteckt.
