That is awesome video, do you know I have seen Bombus Terrestris Drones mating with a Bombus Magnus Queen. In the wild some times they naturally cross. I have seen several worker bees that look in between the two types for a number of years.
Bumble bees evolutionarily lost the ability to make their own nests, so they search for existing nests abandoned by other animals to take over. Mouse nests are a favourite for them. That would be why they love the old mouse infestation site. It would seem like a big housing site to them! :D
Very cool video! Did you buy these guys or attract them? Any tips on how to build such a setup? I’ve been saving mouse nest material in the hopes of building a bumblebee home for a queen this spring. (I’ve read most boxes are never occupied)
I am broadly following Von Hagen's instructions in his book Hummeln. My experience is that the bumblebee hives are found quite easily by the queens in the spring.
My favourite species 😍
they're so cute
how cute they are
Adorable indeed. At least they’re not yellow jackets or bald faced hornets
❤🎉

How is it possible, that an old oven in my yard, whitch was infested/occupied with mice, turned into a bumlebee hive?

Queen 🐝 bee
Wowwww....1000likes😍
I have a nest of these under my roof tiles. What shall I do? They are not bothering me yet.
Within 2 months the activity will have ended
How do I make my own hive
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍
Do they have more than one queen per nest??
Only at end of nest period when new queens are born.
