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.

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. 🌼

Brrr! It’s cold out there! Unlike humans, insects are cold-blooded animals and cannot control their body temperature – they rely on the sun to warm them up when it is cold ☀️ Bumblebees, however, act much more like warm-blooded animals and use various clever techniques to keep warm: ⬆️ They can dislocate their wings and shiver their flight muscles (shivering is how mammals keep warm). 🧥 Have furry bodies – the hair acts as onboard insulation. ⛽ Alter how they pump warm/cool body fluid around th

In summer, male Tree bumblebees will gather in a little dancing cloud outside a nest’s entrance 🕺 This happens near the end of the nesting period and is called nest surveillance. But what is it for? 👑 The males are waiting for new queens to emerge. ☁️ The cloud size can range from 1 to 20 bumblebees – warm temperatures and sunshine increase the numbers. 🔁 Males join and leave the cloud as they move between nests. ⏱️ This activity occurs over most daylight hours and can last several weeks. ⚔️

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 should you do if you accidentally uncover a bumblebee nest? 🤔 This video, sent by Julz Sellars, is a fantastic example of how you can welcome bumblebees into your garden and protect them after accidentally disturbing their nest. This bumblebee nest was uncovered when a Wendy house was broken down. The entrance was then covered back up with a plant pot, leaving the bumblebees to happily zoom in and out of the holes 🐝💨 “On a personal note, the bumblebees have helped my thirteen-year-old da
