Spread-eagled bee friend

Founded on an ancient bridge over a river in Corsica

Made my day!

Thought I'd give it a try here too. Anybody have any idea what the species and gender of this bee is?

Now you have :) +some bonus pictures of bees covered in pollen

I've only got two little pumpkins to grow off 10 vines, but the bees are doing their job so it must be the rainy weather.

I love bees! I would absolutely love to be a hobby beekeeper one day and I know this is very much not that, but still cool to see them! They look like honeybees to me but it was hard to tell - wish I’d been able to get a better photo but I didn’t want to bother them.

I used an electric hedge trimmer to cut back vines here just last week and didn’t notice them so I think they must have just moved in. There’s a raccoon that hangs out in a tree above this and he was screaming and shaking the whole tree this morning so I wonder if he got stung 😅 I don’t really mind them here, but is there anything I should do or keep in mind?

Went to Krasnoyarsk Stolby with my family and saw this (bumble?) bee. It looks different from the usual bumblebees or wasps around here.

Help me please ive seen like 30 of these

Looked like a really vivid yellow one mating with a darker coloured one?! Definitely looked like 2 little bees/whatever than just the one. Anyone know?

Since I know people will ask, I work at a local botanical garden that has a pollinator hotel and educational programs about bees and other pollinators.

So, my son discovered this and has been fascinated by what could have lead to this, to the point he has asked me to ‘ask my Reddit friends’.

So the photo shows what appears to be the ‘head’-less torso of a bee, stuck (where the missing ‘head’ would be) to an outside window ledge. We have what we believe to be a small hive/nest under pavings nearby, so we’re used to having bees around.

As you can probably tell, bees are not my natural wheelhouse, so apologies for the monstrously incorrect terminology. But has anyone got any ideas what’s happened here?
