  • For the male orchid bee, mating begins with a smell: a mix of several fragrances that produce a signature perfume so that females can decide if they’re worthy.

      I live in Upstate NY. We get 100s of green metallic sweat bees in our rose of sharon bushes every year and on me when Im mowing or skating lol but they are the most docile bees Ive ever seen. Mud daubers are wasps but they are an absolutely striking colbalt blue too. Parastic wasps are just as interesting looking!

    Came here after hearing about Blue bee's popping from the Mandela Effect anyone else? Honestly i am 25 and its the first time i have seen them and i grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet and Discovery channel, all the things i have learned not just the Bee's have been blowing my fucking mind. I live in Florida have for about 18 years and a few days ago i casually seen a neon green metallic fly first time seeing that in my life. Maybe i am going crazy or maybe shit is really changing, another one that blew me away is how sunflowers look not not how i remember my grandma used to grow them.

      @eingyi2500 Рік тому +1

      Not Mandela effect, that's not real. Brightly colored bees are actually very common they're just often confused with flies. Orchid bees in Florida are quite rare, and were only recently introduced so that's probably why you've never seen one until recently.

      From what I’ve heard, the majority of bee losses are in urban areas. We’ve changed their environments too much. However, this year I saw wild bees in my area for the first time. They’re super small like a grain of rice & solitary. I’ve doubled my garden & broken up the space with flowering plants to encourage pollination among my potted food crops. I think we might be doing a little better these days (as far as nature goes).
