#Earlybumblebee (Bombus pratorum): tiny, #fluffy, and the first to hit the #spring #flowers. #Queens start solo, build a whole #colony, then retire early. #Nature’s cutest #startup #founder.
This was a surprise on #fridaybee #beefriday!

Early Bumblebee queen on pink heather flowers.
Especially pleased to see my first Early Bumblebee of the year amongst all the Buff-taileds yesterday. #spring #earlybumblebee #bombuspratorum #britishbees #bugsky @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social @davegoulson.bsky.social @bumblebeegill.bsky.social
Altogether far better day: bums high in Gorse flowers day in fact, w #Celandine too tempting Honey bees & flies & then an #EarlyBumblebee queen warming herself among the #Dogviolets .. what joy!
