It's a long one, so if you have time settle in for a lot of bee talk…
A recent call-out to catch a swarm and inspect a hive (to make sure they weren't planning another great escape!) resulted in this impromptu little video.
A big Hymenoptera shout-out to Hannah and Roman, who were very willing participants in my rather enthusiastic bee-fact dump! 😂
I was particularly excited to meet Roman, who is just as fascinated by ants as I am by bees. So, while I was busy sharing all things bees, I also got to learn a thing or two about the amazing world of ants.
And it turns out we had plenty to talk about! Both bees and ants belong to the order Hymenoptera, so there are some fascinating similarities between these two very different, but equally incredible, insects.
A huge thanks to Hannah for filming, editing and sending this through. ❤️
I'm generally much more comfortable filming the bees than myself, so don't expect a regular stream of BuzzRunner documentaries just yet!
