Bombus Hypnorum -Tree Bumblebee- Returning Home

We have tree bumblebees in the bird box. Fascinating to watch them fan the air with their wings to get a ventilation into their crowded home.

Had the same type of bee in our birdbox a few years ago.

Aren't they pretty! I love how you've caught the trailing legs of the bee in flight. Do they have to share with birds too?

@jqf birds fledged a while back
@davemockford did the birds use the box again dave?
