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

Q: What happens to a bumblebee queen when she’s hibernating? 👑💤 A: A bumblebee’s metabolism – the internal reactions that break food down into energy – slows down so much that she doesn’t need to feed. Her body, which stays very still, survives by using its fat stores. She should have enough energy leftover in spring to fly and find new food. 🔎🐝 Red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) 🎥 Teresa Lovell | Bumblebee Conservation Trust
