There is a saying don't bother a bee and they won't bother you! They don't sting unless they feel threatened. I use to catch bumble bees in jam jar and let them free to fly away. Bees will always play an important role for us humans and we need them more than ever these days!
Thankyou for a wonderful insight on these bees. I have a nest in my roof and was going to have removed as thought they were wasps hanging around on first glance, i then spotted a few dead bees on my drive and realised i had a tree bees nest and am now fascinated.
Absolutely Wonderful video..as clear as National Geographic well done...I love the fact that you could get into there den to see what was going on...very exciting video...thank you Sir..keep well
Fantastic video footage, you are so good at capturing the activities and giving us an insight into the lives of these amazing bees. Thanks, please do more.
Thank you for this skillfully photographed and very informative video! I learned so much and truly enjoyed the close-ups and slow-motion views you captured of this hidden bumblebee world! You are such a great teacher too! I live in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA where the weather is similar to yours. Bumblebees are important cooler weather pollinators for us in early spring and late fall when it is a bit too chilly for other bees. TO GARDENERS OUT THERE WHO WANT TO HELP THE BEES: NATIVE plants will help all of the native bees birds, and butterflies. Plant a variety of native trees and flowers that will bloom from early spring until late fall. Please always make sure that the plants you buy do not contain neonicotainoids (not sure if spelled correctly!) Try to use only ORGANIC methods that mimic what nature will do, to care for your yards. Replace lawns with native plants, leave fallen leaves for mulch, leave a few patches of bare soil for ground-nesting bees. Leave some hollow stems for native bees as well. Leave some wild areas in your yard. Bumble bees will even nest in abandoned rodent burrows and bird houses. There are many ways to make these things work, even in formal yards and gardens if you employ hedgerows, fenced or some intentionally planned landscaping/hard scraping features. Do your research, (or let your back yard be the wild place) I have learned so much on UA-cam and from books. Native plants take a little longer to get going, but are low maintenance, one established, and are more drought, flood and disease tolerant, and will bring your yard to life! Do not spray for wasps or spiders (unless they are in front of your front door/on your child’s climber and are aggressive or poisonous, which is rare!). They important parts are part of the ecosystem and if you provide native plants for them, they will ignore humans, unless harassed. I had so many happy bees and wasps in my yard last year and was not stung once! The wasps help to control garden pests. Hummingbirds use spider webs to build their nests. Thank you all for creating and caring for natural habitats that surround us and for advocating for wildlife in any way you can. We are ALL CONNECTED. 🥰 I also encourage everybody to find groups in your area with native plant enthusiasts, ecological restoration group work parties, and anybody local you can join forces with. Native plant nurseries are not elegant, and usually tucked away, but they exist and are so important. It is a very different experience from a “big box” store, and you will come home with tiny plants, but the plants will reward you over the years! My region even has a Bumble bee counting and mapping program. There are also groups that plant rain gardens that help prevent flooding and protect our streams and oceans from pollution. Keep looking and you will find kindred spirits! Use your specific talents, interests, passions and skills to make the world a better place! 🥰 Read more
Brilliant!!! You should be getting paid for these informative spectacular videos!! I see no adverts though?! I had tree bumblebees nesting in my roof last year (the very hot lock down year) and they’re back this year! Problem is the weather is terrible, cold and weeks of rain. It’s supposed to be summer! I always wished I could see what went on in that nest and this video has answered all my questions!! Thank you so much! Very well put together and explained perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyed 👍🐝
I have an irrational phobia of bees but I found this video way more enlightening than anything I've seen previously. This gave me an entirely new perspective when it comes to the bees themselves, I do fear that it won't change my attitude towards running off for the nearest shelter to get away from them though. I will make sure not to harm them as best I can now.
im glad someone in the uk has made a good video about these tree bees as i live in wiltshire near stonehenge and i read online these bees were first spotted in wiltshire uk in 2003 .. they have decided to nest next to my roof window in the bathroom and when i go in there they are not happy because im near there nest entrance , i always leave the window open except when i have a bath , when i close the window they get a bit exited but other than that there not too bad but its only may so i hope they dont get too lively during june/july when i have to use bathroom its also my toilet so i go in and out a few times a day , i know they know im in there because a few sometimes come in the window when im in there but usually fly straight back out , i think there getting use to me coming and going .. i was also glad there was no music to your video as it can be difficult to focus with endless tunes playing in the back ground , thanks again
Thank you for making this wonderfully informative video! I have tree bumblebees nesting by my front door. While it's a little inconvenient having to use the back door & not open the front room window, it's well worth it as they're fascinating to watch. Your video has helped me understand some of their behaviour. 😊🐝✌️
Great video! I've just spotted a tree bee nest in a gap in my roof (not inside the house thankfully!) so this was super helpful to see what they're getting up to :) glad to know they'll be gone soon ha!
I come from Canada , and I've always been amazed by bubble bees when I was young ,, I couldn't figure out how they could fly with those tiny little wings and such a fat little furry body ,, I thought they were so cute ,, I even wanted to pet them , since they had fur on their little bodies ,,, amazing little things really ,,, a mystery to me how they got around , and actually lifted off ,, cute anyway ,
Hello there. I live in B.C. and was gonna ask if this is a different kind of bumble bee. I don't think I've seen one with a white bum before. This must be in a different country???
A great video, thanks for posting. I have recently discovered these bees in the eves of my roof, and this video has helped me understand what they are doing and that I have no need to worry about them. Thanks again.
That was brilliant. Will there be a next generation into the same nest site? We had a tree bee colony destroyed as ghey had set up home right by our window and my husband had a serious allergy to stings. X
Will the queen stay in that original nest and go again next year??… I have a bee nest in a difficult place in my garden , I do not want to disturb them , although I have a little granddaughter that I do not want to get stung.. I will put up with it fir one year, and hope they nest somewhere else next year?.. could you confirm that they will go?
Do the queen bees over winter in the old nest. Mine is in a blue tit bird box, and I want to clean it out at the end of the year, but only if it not got any queens in there. Do you think there will be or will they all move on?
Just found a Tree Bee nest in my garden, at the end of their active cycle can the nest be move to somewhere more safe? (at the moment the nest is in my composter)
I don't believe so, they probably just transfer nectar to the larvae. I'm no expert tho so don't quote me, just somebody extremely fascinated by the world of insects.
Very good. You did a great job making this video. No music just the bees and you telling us what's what Thanks
So WELL DONE! 🥰
6:54 "Here is a nice close up view of their activity." 😅👍

Excellent video thank you.
Your a pro at UA-cam
Excellent video with good information about the life cycle of the bees. Thank you. Enjoyed it very much
Very informative and what a beautiful nature sanctuary you have created.
Thankyou for a wonderful insight on these bees. I have a nest in my roof and was going to have removed as thought they were wasps hanging around on first glance, i then spotted a few dead bees on my drive and realised i had a tree bees nest and am now fascinated.
Same here ! Ours have built their hive in a ceiling void in a flat roof, fascinated by the noise they make.
Very good job that, enjoyed watching it. Hi 5 from lancashire!

Brilliant video
Thank you so much. I smiled for every minute watching this. I adore Bees 🐝 and this was by far, the best video I’ve seen of a Bumblebee Nest.
Amazing video!
Great video!! Helped me to understand what’s going on in my birdbox! 👍
Thank you for all that information. I have a hive in my garden and it is fascinating.

Very informative! I have tree bees in my ceiling every year and know so much more about these fascinating little creatures now, thank you 😊
Very informative. Thank you
Great shots loved it
I enjoyed your video very much !
Thank you I love all the bee's so
bees, not bee's.
Fascinating life forms
This was so enjoyable, what an absolute treat to see the bumble up close. Thank you!
Thank you for a great video!!
A great video, thanks for posting. I have recently discovered these bees in the eves of my roof, and this video has helped me understand what they are doing and that I have no need to worry about them. Thanks again.
Bumbles are fascinating and so adorable. Very cool video! :D
We have tree bees nesting in our log store. Thankyou for this video. We have been dying to know what’s going on in the hidden depths of the logs.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video!
Great video! You remind me of my grandpa! I loved Him so much!
He liked gardening, and I like gardening, too! 🎉
Are you still making videos 📹??
That was brilliant. Will there be a next generation into the same nest site? We had a tree bee colony destroyed as ghey had set up home right by our window and my husband had a serious allergy to stings. X
Thank you for sharing, nicely made and informative video. I wonder, is it the same bees as we called here Bumblebees?
Will the queen stay in that original nest and go again next year??… I have a bee nest in a difficult place in my garden , I do not want to disturb them , although I have a little granddaughter that I do not want to get stung.. I will put up with it fir one year, and hope they nest somewhere else next year?.. could you confirm that they will go?
It so came to bee
Do the queen bees over winter in the old nest. Mine is in a blue tit bird box, and I want to clean it out at the end of the year, but only if it not got any queens in there. Do you think there will be or will they all move on?
Usually hibernate in other places..leaves..logs..compost etc
Just found a Tree Bee nest in my garden, at the end of their active cycle can the nest be move to somewhere more safe? (at the moment the nest is in my composter)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

So those bees don’t make honey
I don't believe so, they probably just transfer nectar to the larvae. I'm no expert tho so don't quote me, just somebody extremely fascinated by the world of insects.
Honeybees make honey. Bumblebees are the pollinators.
