I think the bumble bees use pheromones, a (smell) trail. This method is used by ants that I know for sure. It is also a fact that when bees attack or defend, a specific pheromone is released. Just the release from 1 bee, hornet, wasp, can immediately trigger an attack from other bees especially if your near a hive. I'm just not sure if it is a path-tracking method used by bumble bees or any bee in that specific regard. ps. Got a big kick during your new Camp video out of Dad talking about using a regular rake instead of a Bushcraft rake. Always great stuff through and through. It's a lot of fun to needle each other's Cultures and pronunciations along with different word meanings across the Pond. ie: You guys will say check under the bonnet when we would say under the hood in reference to cars. Love it. Oregon Mike H

The genus Andrena. The 1300 species in this genus are also called mining bees because they nest in the ground. Like most bee species, they are solitary, which means that all females are fertile and each one builds a nest by herself, provisions the nest with pollen and nectar, and lays the eggs. Unlike a honey bee colony, there are no workers, no honey production, nor any comb building. The eggs hatch and the young bees progress through the larval stage to the pre-pupal stage before winter sets in. During the winter they remain in the pre-pupal stage until early spring when they complete their metamorphosis into adult bees, both male and female. The adults emerge from the ground, mate, and the females of this new generation begin to build their homes in a new underground chamber.

I once had a bird box in my garden taken over by bees like those in your film. I left them to it and once they had vacated I checked inside the box and found a very small honeycomb without any honey in it, just the evidence of where the young had been reared. When it was hot the bees would form a circle around the entrance of the bird box and flap their wings to fan cool air inside. I also had one using an overflow pipe as a nest site. This one was a solitary bee that had no others to assist it. There are so many types and all with different habits. I always leave them alone to get on with what they're doing.

There is a decided loss of bees in the US as well. It's possible that many have been eliminated by the over use of pesticides and also since the arrival of the killer bees more people just kill any bees they see out of fear of being attacked by the very aggressive killer bees. I did notice the incoming (to the nest) bees seem to have the right of way while the outbound ones sort of move aside. Don't know what that means though LOL

Bumble Bees aren't blind, they have primitive compound eyes which are extremely good at detecting movement. They use Pheromones to signal danger to one another and they are probably following a Pheromone trail laid out as a runway. Why they pass on the right is something of a mystery but it would be interesting to know if they pass on the left in the Southern hemisphere because thet may indicate a link to the coriolis effect; )

Always enjoy ur bushcraft videosJust to nitpick, your notching then prying with your saw blade if done a lot may compromise ur saw kerf resulting in a loss in sawing efficiency. Recommend using ur knife. But whatever. Bees are on the down and low here in Canada as well. Yes Bumble's are underground dwellers. Pestsides & and fungasides seem to bee giving honey bees a case of immune deficiency against their natural pests.

Unfortunatelly massive honey bees decline is happening worldwide. Most possibly this is due to massive pesticide use. But nesting underground is not something only bumblebees do-last year i had to remove (kill-lets be honest) wasps that made nest in the ground under some bush in my backyard. Stingy little bastards they are

We have the Bombus Magnus in Holland, de grote veldhommel, literally translated big field bumblebee. I don't know if it is the same one but their queen is over an inch long. My fire i usually start the same way as your dad. Hold a match or a lighter to the tinder. I just practice other methods occasionally.

Those matches your dad uses do they really get woman going or did I hear him wrong. We had the Varroa mite down in NZ that caused real problems with the honey bees killing off whole hives. Still get plenty of bees in my bottle brush tree but more of the smaller bumble bees lately pollinating the garden.

Thank you for all the tips, went out solo Monday into Tuesday. It was the first time since my Army days 25 years ago. Monday was Memorial day in the US and used my over nightter as a salute to fallen brothers and sisters. It was an amazing experience. Thanks again for doing what you do.
