  • Teeny bee

    Is this a honey bee? Surely this is too small to be out this early? It’s not flying too well.

    Is it's body fluffy? Does look like a bee to me. We have loads out here already, as weather been so nice. From teenies to huge enormous bumbles buzzing x

      Yeah only a small bit as it looks very young. Should it be sheltered anywhere overnight?

        I often seem to have the odd bee appear to nod off tucked into a plant in greenhouse when temp drops. I move them back outside onto an open flower into sun again next day. Or straight away if it's during daytime x

          That's a solitary bee of some sort. It might be a bit dozy because it's not quite warm enough.

          Also, there's no such thing as a "young" bee, at least not in the sense you are using. A young bee is a larva. Once the larva pupates and a flying bee emerges, that's an adult bee, and is as big as it is ever going to get.

                I have loads of bees of all varieties in my back garden honey, solitary and bumble. Got a huge Lavender bush next to my greenhouse and its full of bees and butterflies as its in full bloom and is stinking the garden out in a nice way.

                I've discovered a wild honey bee colony that's resident in an old tree that has a hollow cavity in it within bee flying distance that's in the countryside near my house.
