Did you watched that “Bee Movie ” ? At the end part of the movie the bees find out their honey is being stolen and sold as variety of products without giving any credit to bees. They (human) even use toxic smoke during the honey extraction process. So, the bees decided to halt all activities of honey production legally after wining case against humans in the court. This not only stops honey production but also stops pollination activities. Due to which all the flowers and plants of the world start dying. At the end both bees and human realize, without bees there is no pollination, and without pollination there is no plant life (Watch the movie if you did’t watched it yet, its really interesting).
This bee movie will help you to understand the importance of bees to this world and to humans. So, this blog post is appreciation post to the amazing bees and all other insects that help in pollination and keep this world fresh and running. I captured some beautiful bees around my home. Enjoy π
Thank you all. Stay safe, stay healthy π
I love your sweat bee with its blue bands! I hope you don’t mind me saying but that first bee you have called Apis melifera is in fact a fly – check out the short antenna and the wings. I have Carpenter bees in my garden that are very similar to yours but Carpenter bees are not bumble bees but part of the genus Xylocopa, as you have correctly noted. Bumbles are from the genus Bombus, do you have bumble bees in Nepal? Amelia
Thanks a lot for your comment and information π . The fly (as you said) has exactly bee like abdomen, so i got confused. And yes bumble bees are different, we call carpenter bee bumble bee due to its buzzing sound :-D. Anyway, thanks for the correction. Have a good day, Be(e) safe π
Great post . Your last picture is a carpenter bee I think not a bumble bee!
Thanks π . I call it bumble bee because of its loud buzzing sound π
I love that the same creature has different names across the globe. Itβs nature doesnβt change only our pointless classification. Keep enjoying the ππ
