We can learn a few things from these highly skilled carpenter bees, they are so small and can do such great things. At least their secret lives of crime benefit us and the ecosystem in some ways, it's not all bad. Thanks deeplook.💯❤👍🏻
Thankfully they do their usual front-door pollinating in my passion fruit's flower and yellow pumpkin (this one big enough to fit in). They dont touch the flower of my eggplants, chili, and sweet potatoes though maybe cuz its too small. But That's a trigona bees job to do that anyway (the small bees as small as mosquito)
I cannot get over how informative and beautiful these episodes always are ! I love how intricate every bee species seems to be whether they live in colonies or not. Thank you for the amazing content .
I see these bees a lot at my house, when the flowers are blooming. I always wondered why they stabbed the flower like that. I used to think they were bumble bees, not carpenter bees! Thanks for the informative episode Deep Look! I always love the amazing macro shots you guys can get.
this is why asteraecae (sunflower, goldenrod, etc.) flowers are so good for bees who don't have long tongues. they have open faces so it's easier to get the nectar. if you're trying to attract lots of different bees, make sure you have a variety of flower shapes!
You are right, the carpenter bees only touch my yellow pumpkin and passion fruit flower as they are open type and big to fit in. Though they are competing with honey bees with that. As for trigona sp (the size of a mosquito bees) regulerly pollinating the small flower types like sweet potatoes, eggplants, and chili
That's generally a good idea for attracting all pollinators, not just bees, flowers with open faces for example are great for all hymenopterans (and most pollinating insects honestly), while tube ones are generally best for big lepidopterans, bee flies, and hummingbirds, or anything with a long enough tongue. Make sure that the plants are native to wherever you live though, don't want to support anything invasive (yes, invasive bees do exist).

Teddy bear bees are adorable 😍😍 Thank you so much for adding me in the video description! And btw you're so close to 2 million subs 🎉🎉 Edit: hey mom look i'm famous
So interesting! It's impressive to see how smart and creative bees can be. Our crew documented a honeybee colony being attacked by a huge hornet, and, despite their size, they still managed to defeat it! Bees are definitely incredible!
Seeing all the local bees, and those close ups of their mandibles is so appreciated! Interesting to learn about their controversially clever lifestyle!
I really appreciate this video highlighting a bee that visits my flowering bushes. This could have been recorded in my front yard as I saw pictures of the same bush species. Thanks Deep Look!
Can we all just appreciate all of the work they put into their videos? Like they actually do a lot of stuff in their studios and go out and FIND these animals in a place where they can record them?!
Today I saw carpenter bee near my workplace. She did exactly what you introduced in this video! She was stealing nectar from abelia! Thanks again for making this awesome video. Without your video, I would not know how this fascinating insect survives.
There's a carpenter bee nest in one of the posts above my porch. It's been there for years, with a bee hovering about and climbing in and out each year, and now I'm wondering how many generations have grown up there.
@@Psychol-Snooper Buy a bee hotel. Or a squarer bench you don’t mind them drilling into. Then apparently from what I’ve read if you haven’t sealed your patio, seal it. I don’t think they like the taste. That should divert their behavior but I do feel you. I’m worried ab them getting into the soffits. It’s almost impressive how much damage they can cause for such tiny guys
@@tallycat On the shady side of the valley where I live there are homes that look like Swiss cheese. I had my deck sealed within a month of moving in, but we are in a state that only allows water based sealants. They went right back in their same holes, and through the sealant within a couple years. I've heard wind chimes aggravate them... but... they sort of aggravate me so... LOL
@@Psychol-SnooperHang up a brown plastic shopping bag that you have filled with other brown plastic shopping bags near the nest. The insects will assume it is a hornet nest and go dig their holes in somebody else's wood.
I like #GroundBees better because they don't sting and a produce honey unlike Africanized bees and European bees which sting and produce honey. Those consider cute 💯% except carpenter bees, European bees, and Africanized bees.
@@lancelnce how about snakes. I know I'm going off topic and talking about some living creature but #BarbadosThreadSnakes considered cute just because of how small, and harmless they can be 😊.
If the plants were negatively affected in a major way they will do one of two things. Die out or evolve to the extent that the flowers would shorten to allow the bees to access their nectar AND pollinate them. Nature always finds a way. 🐝🌺
Came here after strolling around my backyard while noticing some honey bees drawing nectar out of my durian tree flowers and I also noticed that there were carpenter bees that wont go to the durian flower but rather drawing nectar out of Putri Malu flowers that form a bush. Really fascinating creatures ❤
I literally did a summer research project on this at university! We started the week not even knowing that nectar robbing was a thing but, as the week progressed, we had discovered this whole phenomenon (including the other bee species taking advantage of the carpenter bees previous handy work). This video brought back some happy memories, thank you!

Where I live in Maui, they've been flourishing because of all the Verbesina.
This take "we have come for your nectar" to another level.

i love that the official term for it is "nectar robbing" hahaha, so cute.

Luv ur channel. Please keep going. Luv ya
@Don Don’t be that person. No one likes that type of person. They didn’t state it entirely literally.
We can all agree that teddy bear bee is perfect name for it

I’ve always thought that holes that carpenter bees make were so fascinating. Thanks for telling me even more about them. Keep up the good work
Will do Jamie. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love the way the male bee's tiny feet vibrate as he hovers. Eeee! So cute. 🥰
Why do people consider insects disgusting? They are beautiful!
Carpenter bee: i have come for your nectar :)

This was a fascinating and insightful episode on some of the larger bees in our world! Thank you, Deep Look ☺️
idk how anyone can not think these things are cute
Bees are so cute! I want a pet bee if I could.
Thanks to this channel, I learned how diverse bees are. And all of them is incredible.
Great to hear! We often talk about how we could do a whole show on bees & wasps alone!

That Bee is more buff than me
I am so interested in all the different and unique types of bees
I've caught a couple of carpenter bees before, other than light blue n yellow color, there's teal n purple color! They are truly beautiful insects!
This is better than therapy
I love these. It makes me want to observe every little bug, worm, etc.

Sit out there in the mid morning as spring warms up and you will hear them ripping your deck apart.
skree skree skree skree (ad infinitum)

Those golden bees smell like flowers. I've caught them before when I was younger
Thanks for verifying!
Teddy bear bee
Most wholesome name for a bee
Her wings are so pretty omg
2:03 bro, give them some privacy
I thought the male was sooooo cute and then you said "teddy bear bee" omggggg so fitting
These are our largest local bee by far here in our part of California, so much fun to see the males on occasion.
"We have come for your nectar!"
The flower: " "
That's not a teddy bear bee, that's a grizzly bear
I remember running from these when I was younger and I still do they're so loud!
wow these bees are cute, wouldnt be scared if i saw them
Theyre both so pretty. The differences in color between sexes is a beautiful contrast
I knew one of these in Phoenix, in her pecan tree trunk home. She was a pleasant neighbor.
They're very cute😍
I can't find any insect "cute" xD

Deep look- teaches me more than school. Also I swear the narrator's voice is so soothing.
Save the right bees!! Thank you for highlighting these absolutely amazing insects
Once a female carpenter bee attacked me by headbutting my chest, it was like being hit by an oversized airsoft bb.
These videos and the creatures featuring in them are truly amazing. Keep doing what you're doing!
We will Daniël !
Carpenter bee sip nectar from flowers. They use nectar to become honey. That's delicious😋. Thanks for making this video 👍👍👍

I could stuff about bees for hours. This is some quality content.
We talk about how we could do a whole series just on bees.
Beautiful video and good narration 🙂❤️... Every time u guys upload new video im excited to watch it
Thank you so much 😀
*Beeautiful, bzz bzz 🐝
Bees are AWESOME! My favorite insect! That “teddy bear” bee is SO cute! 🐝
Now this is the kind of content I come to UA-cam for
I’ve seen black carpenter bees, but never seen the golden teddy bee 🥺 So cute!

They came for your nectar, our nectar at this point.
Bees are a wonderful example of evolution, there’s so many unique adaptations specific to specific species of bees.
WE HAVE COME FOR YOUR NECTAR!
This bee appears to be the superior authority of the nectar, making it a conqueror not a thief.
Can we please get a a video on robberflies? They are so cool.
Awww I love bees they so are cute to watch 😊
Man they are so cute, it's barely legal to be this cute as an insect
Hummingbirds do this as well for certain flowers
We have come for your nectar moment

Wonderful, Liam! Thanks for sharing about your research. Any surprises?
One of us found out that carpenter bees do in fact sting and that it is a lot more painful than a normal bee sting haha!
"Gimme your nectar!"
>Only if you take my pollen too~
[Bee takes out switchblade] "I wasn't asking."
Stunning! Such a beautiful close up as always.
Maybe if those darn flowers weren't only meant for long tongues!
Bees just gotta adapt, improvise, overcome
Seems less like "robbery" and more like an evolutionary pressure on the flowers to not be inaccessible
Carpenter Bee: I have come for your nectar, please do not resist.
Fantastic video! It got me all buzzing with joy and excitement!
we are here for ya nectar
Nectar thief? The spongebees won't like this one bit.
Fluffy bees.😁😁😁😍
We have come for your nectar.
i keep thinking “we have come for your nectar” every time i hear the word nectar
"Coming throught the front door like respectful visitors" 😳😳
So sweet and charming the way the animals actions are described, Wonderful narrating !🐸
Nature is fantastic and beautiful ❤️❤️👏👏👍👍
Hey can I borrow a cup of nectar? No,Well I'll just steal it then
Yeah, they're smart little buggers!
"Sneaking the nectar out through the back door...." inserts joke here
Backdoor, Frontdoor, Respectful visitors?! My mind's too corrupted for this video... so are those bees!
Bees are soo cute 🤣
One of those gigantic tropical carpenter bees once dropped on my lap while i was chilling on a hammock in Thailand. Nearly shat myself.
U really are a pleasure to listen to. Gr8 story too!! Thank ya kindly🤓🤙✌
Carpetner bee : we have come for you nectar
That's why they are my favs
Oh man, I saw a golden carpenter bee fly around one bush for like 3 minutes
They basically represent the concept of only wanting the free item in a “buy one get one free” sale
Pollen looks like a crown！👍
I know, right? Very stylish.
What great footage of the close ups. Deep look always impresses.
Thanks Ba Ri!
I never knew bees can be real thieves as in for plants.
A short date huh😂 poor sir teddy bear bee.
I'm really hoping for an episode on bumble bees. I love those guys
Lovely 🥰 👏🏾 thank you so much these videos 🤩 these bee’s are so cute 😍
You’re welcome 😊
Hey I mean, who knows, maybe the flower likes it in the "backdoor" instead of the front 😏😜😝🤣🤣
I saw bumble bees doing this yesterday to my jasmine flowers. So smart
I wish I made a huge ray so I could make a giant fuzzy bee that I could hug.
0:42 i bet the bee has a good personality tho😢🤣
