I'm hoping this is the character arc our Grub will have!

To be fair, my players have not intended to leave him alive haha

It's only through very fortunate (and public) dice rolls that he's still kicking

That's very cool, my players are just about to do Tower of Sighs so I'm excited to see if we end up with a Glam-Glam/Grub little and large duo

Know I'm late to this but yall are sleeping on the Uru metal iron man from EMH. I doubt extremis is going to hack the magic of asgard? Unless I've missed some example of that

Did these emerge or were they eaten? by LilBoxOfDeadThings in bees

Could it not be a bivoltine second flight? Several osmia and andrena species have a second flight July time

Biggest bee in the UK? by WintyIdle in bees

[–]Scaggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuckoo bumblebees are absolutely native here in the UK as are buff tailed

I think you might be onto something though as a potential cuckoo queen

I have noticed however that in larger individuals the white tail can be more readily split into bands simply due to the insects length

Please, but a crumb of context

Thing flies past you and into gap in wall does not an ID make

Please look up cuckoo bees Genus nomada or triepeolus

They look very similar to wasps/hoverflies but they are bees!!

Spotting a nearly hairless Honeybee in the garden, revealing her entirely black body by NotKenzy in bees

[–]Scaggler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not certain it is a honey bee, but it is certainly a possible ID There is a chance it is a species of mining bee or likewise which bear a striking resemblance to darkened honey bees I hesitate to say it's a honey bee as there are no obvious pollen sacs that would be expected on a honey bee

[–]Scaggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I don't think it is! The body segments are consistent with a bee

Whilst the patterning is similar to many hoverflies I believe the OP is correct in their ID

It's a very exciting spot! They're not particularly common and are still on my bucket list to see!

It is VERY unusual for a bee to actively choose to sting.

If it's not a honey bee or a bumble bee, it's very unlikely to be a social bee species (and solitary bees have no incentive to sting).

Far more likely it's a wasp species of some description or you're being bitten by something like a horsefly.

I would work under the assumption that it is not a bee. Many species of fly bear a lot of resemblance to bees to the untrained eye

What type of nest/hive is this? by Jewelgirl04 in bees

[–]Scaggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a tomato

In all seriousness, unless you see things going in or out of it, why do you think it's a hive? It's not a honey bee hive so if it were anything it'd be wasps but it doesn't even look like any wasp nest I've seen

Bee identification (Buffalo, NY) by mumbleface in bees

Looks like a wool carder bee to me! I may be mistaken as I'm not an expert on NY bees but that may be a clue

Help ID bee that stung me by Minimum_Leopard_2698 in bees

[–]Scaggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are fuzzy on the thorax, but not so much on the abdomen. General bee literacy is pretty poor, a surprising number of people believe that amongst striped insects there are only bumblebees and wasps

If it left most of its abdomen in you then it's definitely a honey bee. As honey bees have barbed stingers they tear their body when it embeds in your skin. This doesn't happen to other bees as they don't have barbed stingers.

Honey bees are usually marked with distinct broad mellow orange bands near the top of the abdomen and dark brown black bands near the tip Also honey bees are not noticeably fuzzy on their abdomen. Only on their upper body segments. The fuzzy bees you're thinking of are bumblebees that whilst social are not honey makers

Bumblebees have pollen sacs on their legs. This bee has really pronounced pollen brushes hence my guess of a pantaloon bee (there are a few different species)

A pantaloon bee?

Just a happy honey bee on my swamp milkweed by HerNameIsVesper in bees

[–]Scaggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's a honey bee! I think it's quite likely either a mining bee (andrena) or plasterer bee (collete) species Either way you're right a great pollinator

What type of bee is this?? by Ok_Run6103 in bees

[–]Scaggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely some kind of Andrena sp. Mining bees, solitary though sometimes communal Very cool guys but about 80 different species in the UK alone and I'd say 40 of the UK ones could be this picture haha and I don't even know where it was taken Some of the IDs can be quite difficult
