Snuggle Bees - Laikipia, Kenya :3
by National Geo staff
Most species of bees on the planet are solitary and not social like honeybees. Among the solitary species, females have nests to return to at night, but males have nowhere to go and end up sleeping on vegetation. Sometimes males will huddle together for warmth and comfort. Here are two different species of male bees, an Amegilla bee on the right and a long-horn bee (Tetraloniella) on the left, that have snuggled up together on a stalk of grass in a sheltered spot under an acacia tree.

Xylocopa confusa (Carpenter bee, male), Sarawak, Borneo
It’s cold enough in the mornings now that the bumblebees are sluggish and adorable.

That first ones eyes… oh my!~
Oh wow. I don’t even know what kind of bee the first one is… Second one is clearly a Bombus, however. Lovely photos!
Look at this handsome little gentleman! So dapper.
This is from a while back, when my boyfriend and I first got together. Isn’t he dreamy?!
I miss all the lovely Western Pyrobombus! Just look at that red fur and the matching pollen pants! (And, as always, fantastic photo)
