cool photo, off to carry pollen for plants to reproduce......go little guy!

How?

How?

they are the major pollinator for fruit trees and other plants that animals eat, and we eat the animals

Bees and ants are amazing species. They are even studying fire ants and their advanced ability to clump during floods as a.means to apply division of labour to vast numbers of robots. G-d made this planet an amazing environment, though the circle of life is unavodable...for now...

I was happy to see about a hundred bees buzzing around one of my my palo verdes last week. I haven't seen that many in a couple of years.

ants have been here for millions of years, they are survivors like cockroaches but ants and adapt to anywhere, except for the arctic areas, yes they are amazing with their work ethic and how they can lift 10x their weight, just crazy

former owner planted some 200+ bulbs, lilacs, crab apples and dogwoods, my yard it loaded with bees and I have never been stung ever

Bee lovers exaggerate this. Most plants are pollinated by the wind. Ever look at your car on spring morning and see that it has strangely turned yellow.

wind helps but bees are important as are birds to spread seeds when they shit them out. the wind might not blow in the direction to do anything whereas bees visit many places in a few mile radius

Same for me. We do have some terrible bee attacks in Arizona but it's always someone disturbing a huge nest. The Africanized bees go nuts if they think their nest is in danger.

When it comes to forests and grasses, it does not have to travel far in any direction. How do plants get pollinated if there are no bees. I have not seen a bee this year.

It was a cold winter but I'm starting to see bees in my yard... my succulent flowers draw them in... soon the butterfly's will be here... did you guys know even Bats pollinate??? I just read about that...

depends, many plants got smart and have seeds that stick to fur and are transported by deer, etc or animals eating and passing the seeds, generally in a berry or fruit

yes, those big bastards from SA can be deadly, honey bees are harmless unless you attack them, it's yellow jackets and paper wasps which I hate, yes they actually do pollinate but they are horrible for anything else

I know all of this. I took biology like most people, but my point remains. The importance of bees is overhyped.

Notice how bumblebees get up in your face? A cure for that is a .22 revolver loaded with snake loads which is essentially powdered lead. They usually hover in the air long enough to get a shot off and you can blow them out of the sky. Just be careful about what's behind them. Not recommended for any other type of bee.

wow, bumblebees are harmless unless you try and grab one, otherwise they go about their short life

I understand that until he lost his job, Dr. Anthony Fauci was experimenting with supplementing the bee population with his new substitute---

The Trans Bee.

Ants and bees – which by all appearances seem so different – are creepy-crawly cousins, according to new research published in a recent issue of Current Biology.

The new findings show unequivocally that ants’ closest living relatives are a superfamily called Apoidea, which includes bees and some solitary hunting wasps.

Bumblebees seem to be the only insect that is willing to risk it's short life by getting up in your face. The fun part is drawing and blowing their asses apart with a short range .22

that is equal to killing a human close range with a S&W .50
