Where are the bees

Anyone else noticing a real lack of bees in their garden this year? Are they taking longer to wake up since it was so cold until recently? I love seeing bees in my garden and am really hoping they turn up soon!

Really? I thought most worker bees were male? Interesting

Lovely fluffy lady 😊

No the workers are female, drones are male.

Did you know that the queen was originally believed to be a king, because people couldn’t compute that it was a woman in charge?

Must be some about as I noticed a yellow blob on my jumper when I was out the other day.

Turns out it's bee poo.

😠

I can absolutely believe that!

Dont they give select female larvae the royal jelly which then turns them into the queen? its so interesting
