Bumblebees everywhere

Post by Ontario Chick » Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:59 am

This year I have a front seat on the "bumblebee condos", being built on a side of our patio.
I have never actually seen bumblebee digging in the ground, absolutely hilarious watching them dig and then come and go, sometime creating a bit of a traffic jam at some openings, so presumably when they get fed up with that they build their own exit. :)

I've seen single holes in the ground, not a group, but a lot of the bumblebees here just use the gopher holes.
