I came across this beauty whom was resting on the wall of my home. Not sure if she’s western or africanized. She’s been here for over 13 hrs, she’s been chilling and her abdomen moves from time to time so she is breathing. She’s also dark in appearance. Is she reaching the end of her life? Is there anything I can do to help her? I’m in Nevada, it dropped to 38° last night.

Can anyone advise on what we should do? We are used to saving bees in the summer but have never seen them out so late in the UK, it was 4C and wet when I found him on gravel this morning. He perked up a little and was moving after warming him up once he dried off, for the last 6 or so hours hes just been moving his legs a little but nothing else. Is it a hibernating queen or is it a worker thats on his last legs literally? Very large for a bumble bee

Honey and bloom 12”x16” Acrylic Thought I’d share with my fellow bee lovers.

I've been terrified of bees my whole life, I've never been stung and I don't want to get stung (painful and the bee could possibly die which makes me feel worse). I've just moved into a house with a garden all around it and was very excited to garden and grow food BUT

Bees are always around me, my husband says they're just flying around but I'm literally having bees fly at me and around me after being outside for a few minutes. I can't go outside and stretch, I can't sit outside the door step with a coffee nor can I garden. I don't wear perfume, I wear deodorant that has little to no smell at all, I wear all black all the time, I stand away from gardens when I'm outside and I still have bee's flying at me and around me.

I genuinely don't know what to do, I don't want to get rid of my garden. Is it something I'm doing that makes them interested? are there smells that bees don't like so I can keep them away from me? I like the bees pollinating the flowers and they do great stuff but why are they so interested. Do they need something? I don't want to harm them or "get rid" of them, our gardens are a large source of pollen for them but they also think I'm a source of pollen or I'm an enemy.

I am so unsure what to do and I'd like to go outside.

Edit: I'm in NZ and I'm talking specifically about bubble bees and normal honey bees

any idea what could it bee?

Hi, everyone. I want to start a garden in my backyard to raise fruits and vegetables. I was wondering what excellent strategies are for attracting native bees and other pollinators to my plants to help with pollination. I live in the northern portion of central Minnesota. Thank you for your time!

First I was like, I guess you're coming with me then. Drove a few blocks with bee, then I couldn't do it to the bee. I parked and shooed it off my windshield, gently poked'em; he flew off. Will it find its way home or is it likely a death sentence for the lil guy?
