Happy WorldBeeDay! Did you know that bees can cook invaders alive by activating their flight muscles to radiate heat?

—each one a red-eyed giant next to the hairy little bees. Each strike took just an instant, the predators snatching bees out of the air and then flying away with their victims, which would be carved up later and fed to the hornets’ own ravenous larvae.is no match for a European hornet. Up to an inch and a half long, the hornet is equipped with powerful mandibles capable of shearing smaller insects to pieces.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.

This is just one facet of western honeybee behavior that Arndt has captured in new detail over the past two years. He has been photographing wildlife for 30 years, but he’s no insect expert, so he partnered with Tautz.To guard their nest from predatory hornets, the bees go into a defensive stance at the entrance to the cavity. They raise their front legs and open their mandibles.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.

Over six months, Arndt shot more than 60,000 pictures, creating a portrait of wild honeybees unlike anything seen before.as they studied bees in the wild, Arndt got hooked. But he realized that he’d never truly unlock the insects’ secrets while watching them in an artificial box engineered by humans for the purpose of extracting honey. What he really wanted was to photograph a natural nest.

Gosh - VERY amazing photos of the bees! So very well done sir! I have a hive near Nairobi National Park and am afraid to even go near as they attack immediately. Have to try at night and with bee suite....

WOW! What a bee photo!

Can't get past the bloody ad to sign up. Tech Lame

Sekretne życie pszczół..

This is amazing 😍

Amazing footage

Why this indecency? Do bees take pictures of your intimate moments and publish them in bee magazines?

Since the beginnings of life on Earth ?

Nice 👍👍👍

Those sisters are thirsty!🐝

I love the Bumbles! I used to run like hell from them! Then I learned how with out them we could just die out! Our food supply would sink beyond compare. We need those furry little pollinators. Now I lead them to the flowers, if they chase me I put them to work!🐝🐝🐝 Uh

FeliciaCombsTWC Amazing little creatures-they need our help to take care of them-without them we're nothing

How could that bee?!❤💛💚

I eat their poop everyday, let’s celebrate that.

En mi jardín 🐝😍😍🐝

Yes I know that. Very efficient insect.

Bees don't fly, they levitate. When they flap they're wings they create a harmonic which is the same frequency as Earth's gravity.

For this special day we have created an NFT of our Chubby Panda equally special! The Chubby Panda Bee!🐼✨🐝

Did not know that. Nice

Happy WorldBeeDay !

As go the bees so goes humanity.

Here in southern central France some bee-keepers (artisan honey makers) have relocated their hives from rural fields to their gardens due to the dramatic rise in frequency of asiatic hornet attacks. (My photo. 2021.) WorldBeeDay

Just rescued and ‘fed’ an exhausted bumble bee

Bees do what now? As if the stinger wasnt enough of a deterrent!

Who stepped on the bee

Ohhh how I wish I had that super power…

Wow

A petal folds against the dark, night of rest it will embark. Dreams of sunlight, land of bees,warmth in everything it sees. The petal holds hands, and makes a flower, demonstrating nature,and all its power. Tomorrow the petal will open to light, attracting the bees first flight.

Happy World Bee Day!! I love how cute they are, even with that kind of ability..just shows that small, cute things shouldn’t be taken lightly..!

Really? You can only access if you are a paying customer?

Please delete and fix. Bees (20,000+ species) cannot cook invaders. Honeybees can, and possibly their sister species in the Apis genus, but bees as a whole cannot. Bees are not a synonym for Honeybees, they are distinct words.

WorldBeeDay 🐝💚 🌺🍀 Great respect 🕊️

Yes, I did.

Absolutely stunning photography.

There needs to be more pollinator gardens

Kind of like chicken 'farmers' faced with a potential pandemic threat?

TomAckermanWx Yes. I did.

Amazing 🧐😯😊
