Eek! 2025 is almost over, so what have bumblebees been up to this year? ❄️ Bumblebee queens spend the entire winter hibernating alone in the soil. 👑 They emerge from hibernation in spring, when rising temperatures and longer days wake them. 💤 When a queen emerges, she spends some time resting to wake up properly. 🌷 Once fully awake, she feeds on flowers to gain energy. 🏠 Then begins the search for a suitable nest site: holes in the ground, long grass, bird boxes and beneath garden sheds. 🌼

We all deserve a rest. Bumblebee queens are no different 👑 💤 Once they emerge from their nest, new bumblebee queens spend a lot of time resting on the ground or other surfaces. They are conserving energy by not being too active. 🕒 After a few hours or days, these new queens will gradually disperse to feed and mate before either setting up their own nest or finding somewhere to hibernate over winter. 🌷 If you come across a resting bumblebee, leave it be. There's no need to do anything, unless

Look out for these Tree bumblebee behaviours this summer: 🐦 Tree bumblebees prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite. 🌡️ In hot weather, Tree bumblebees will work together to fan their nest to keep it cool. ❌ Bumblebees don’t gather in swarms (that’s honeybees). However … 🕺 Male Tree bumblebees perform a nest surveillance – they gather in a little dancing cloud outside a nest’s entrance. They are waiting for new queens to emerge. ⚔️ Mati

What would you do in this situation? 😬 Question: Help! We found a bumblebee nest that had been exposed by a strimmer. We gently covered the entrance with sticks and grass, leaving the bumblebees enough room to move in and out. Was this the right thing to do? There are a lot of birds in the area, and the bumblebees would have become snacks if we had left the nest exposed 🐦 Answer: Originally, the nest would have been nicely protected in the long vegetation before it was cut. It’s great that you

Psst! Come and see what this bumblebee is doing 🤫 This Buff-tailed bumblebee queen is searching for a nest. Despite her obvious efforts, this spot isn’t quite suitable. Buff-tailed bumblebees tend to nest underground, rather than on the surface 🏡 If this is a new queen, she may well be looking for a hibernation spot 💤 Have you spotted many bumblebees recently? 🎥 Laura Spiteri | Bumblebee Conservation Trust

Bumble = To act or move in an awkward or confused manner👌 It wasn’t until the 1950s that the name bumblebee stuck. They are also known as: 🧙‍♂️ Dumbledore (18th c.) – yes, the inspiration for J.K. Rowling’s wizard! 😌 Humblebee (Until 1910) 🕹️ Drumbledrone (Devon) ☁️ Foggy Bummer (NE Scotland) 🐲 Cacynen (Welsh) 🍀 Bumbóg (Irish) 🦄 Seillan (Gaelic) Sky pandas, fuzzy bums, flying fluff balls – these are just a few more names people like to refer to bumblebees as.

Shhh! This Buff-tailed bumblebee queen may have recently emerged from hibernation – so what is she doing here? 👑🎶 🔊 If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the queen's wings vibrating together. She appears to be basking on the mossy bank as she is too cold to fly. 🌡️ On a cool, sunny day like this, a bumblebee can raise their body temperature by dislocating their wings and shivering their flight muscles to reach the snug 30°C they need to fly. This is the buzzing you can hear. 👋 Th

Hang on! This Buff-tailed bumblebee queen is collecting pollen by brushing the fine grains out of her hair and into her pollen baskets – notice the bright yellow bulges on her hind legs 💛 ☀️ On a fine spring day like this, goat willow (also known as pussy willow) can be humming with bumblebees. Goat willow and other flowering trees can be popular dishes on the bumblebee menu early in the year. 🔊 Sound up and listen to the sweet, slowed-down song of a skylark 🎶 Have you spotted any bumblebees

Buff-tailed bumblebee queens are some of the hardest-working mums in nature – if they could tell us how they spend the year, it would go something like this 🐝👑 Mid to late summer 💛 I leave home after 6 weeks to find a male to mate with. 🚹 Looking for: a male from another nest. Males live for 1-2 weeks. Don’t wait around! 🌷 Now a widow, I feast on pollen and nectar. I must stock up for winter hibernation. Autumn and winter ❄️ I spend the entire winter hibernating alone.
