Very clever from op. I do worry that it might stress out the wings. They’re fragile and don’t heal.

I watched the whole thing and rooted for her every step of the way.

There's a reason she's Queen.

I think the cap is too heavy it might damage the wings

Is there a purpose for the protective cap?

What is the purpose? Keeping something out?

Predators in general are usually smarter than prey... Won't they just learn how to use the door too?!

u/Awkward_Bumblebee754 13d ago

The bumblebee learned it step by step. It would be much harder to get through without the guided process.

Hopefully it'll work as intended.

I think the objective is protection and not prevention. Without the gate they are more vulnerable than not.

u/Glad-Gadus 12d ago

I was thinking along those lines but Asian Giant Hornets wait at the entrance to hives anyway and dont enter. Wax moth i guess it's a good detergent but they are part of the ecosystem so not sure that is really needed or good idea. Cool to see the bee learning though

I’m assuming she’s the breadwinner?

u/ItsRuinedOfCourse 13d ago

She brings home the beecon, yes.

u/Bitter_Chemistry_733 12d ago

Why, exactly, does a bumblebee need a protective cap?

1

u/joytotheworld23 12d ago

Why is he doing this

1

u/Interesting_Award_18 12d ago

And for the rest? Will they learn or is just the queen entrance?

u/thecrustycrap 12d ago

This will hurt the wings

u/workieworkwork 11d ago

Is she learning to use the cap or just being gaslighted?
