     He was rubbing himself all over the flower to pick up pollen. Reminded me of a dog rolling around to scratch his back.

     I think they feed it to their larvae.

     @useless_idiot yeah they don't make honey, but I think it's still food. he was having a good time. At least it looked that way.
     
     I have a nest of honeybees that has taken up residence in my front porch ceiling. I'm going to try and see if I can relocate them in the spring but I think it's probably too late in the season for this year.

     @useless_idiot I have the equipment to house and care for bees myself so if I can keep them on the property it would be preferred. If I can't work out how to relocate them safely on my own I may call in some help, but I've wanted my own hive for years and catching some natives would be better IMO than buying an Italian queen. I have been planning to start an apiary for a few years now.
     
     I've never seen bumbles home. That was probably pretty awesome.

     Nice project! I would probably just ask a beekeeper to take them at the right moment.

     Once I found a nest of a social species of bumblebees in my garden, and these made cells and some of them were filled with something that could have been nectar. I left them alone and in autumn they were gone.

     Good luck with that! I hope you will post stories or pictures.

     The nest wasn’t too big, 20 bumblebees or so. It was just in the dry sand under a piece of wood.

     @useless_idiot I won't be moving on it until spring because I imagine they have a safe space with sufficient food for winter and I don't want to have to feed them sugar water or anything, but I will probably build my hive boxes over the winter and make sure we are fully prepped and ready to house them when the time comes.
