Hi ๐๐ผ @wildforbees here, ready to show you some of my #bumblebee #nestbox research this week! To start, hereโs an active B. perplexus colony-the guard bees were quick to act when I opened the lid (video was a few sec after I stepped away to catch the action from a safe distance!)

Amazing news! What a fantastic job by the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory and #teambutterfly. And the discovery of a previously unknown 5th instar. We're on the road to recovery. Now we just have to get funding to do the rest. @NCC_CNC

Good news: #teambutterfly is having so much success rearing Mottled Duskywings, I had to release a surplus of stock back to their natal site today! @Conservatory_ has also confirmed this species has 5 larval instars! #speciesatrisk #Butterfly #naturalhistory

Well this was a fun surprise on a rainy afternoon! I put up 5 #nestboxes on #WLU campus with @GrowShareRepeat and @LaurierGreen and one of them is occupied! The #bumblebees didnโt want to cooperate when I looked inside so species is still TBD! What species do you think it is?! ๐

Some good news about some super rare bumblebees - B richardsiellus was known from probably < 10 individuals world-wide, but surveys last summer by Kunming Institute of Botany and Beijing's Institute of Zoology found it to be locally common in just a few sites in SE Tibet!

Although itโs now officially summer, it still feels like spring to see all of these nest-searching queens! Iโm hoping some of them decide to live in the nest boxes, but for now, I wait.. โฐ๐ค๐ผ #bumblebees #nestboxes #bees #buzz #nestsearching #queens #bombusimpatiens #summer

#Bombusimpatiens in her new home! ๐ This is my #endoscope camera, and how I use it in the underground #nestboxes. Without the camera, it would be VERY difficult to determine if the nest box is occupied this early in the season (as there is little to no worker traffic yet) ๐

Thanks for a great #PollinatorWeek2019! We're very proud to support bees every day, especially now that @uofg is a #beecitycampus. It's important to support bees in an urban setting, and you can see how well it can work with this #bumblebee worker I saw just outside the gym!

Last week, we received a generous donation of 200 milk crates from @SaputoInc to support our ground-nesting #bee research project. Some of these crates have already been put to good use to plant zucchini plants whose flowers will feed squash bees later this summer #PollinatorWeek

I SPY with my little ๐ something that is #black and #yellow!! Thatโs a common eastern #bumblebee queen in one of my underground #nestboxes! Stay tuned for a video of her running around in there, as well as how I am able to record all of her activity! ๐๐ฑ #pollinatorweek

You might call me something of an ANDRENA-line junkie! Andrena is a group of bees (aka mining bees) with many early emerging species, making them great pollinators for apples. Most of the bees I have seen are Andrenids!

I followed this #queen to (what I suspect is) her nest site - and it was ~ 5m away from some of my #nestboxes.. ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ Oh well! Iโll be watching to see if she starts bringing in pollen, or laying eggs to produce workers, males, and even new queens! ๐๐ #bumblebees #pollinatorweek

Happy #PollinatorWeek! ๐Yesterday I opened up an above ground nest boxes and found a Common Eastern #BumbleBee queen inside! This species is known for nesting underground, so it was an awesome find! Hopefully when I go back next Iโll find some brood cells! #nestingecology #bees
