Field Notes - a large bumblebee? quite orange and fluffy
I’m sad I found this guy dead but he looks different to bees I usually see.
Field Notes - Huge bee in the bathroom. These seem to be from North America. Is there an Australian equivalent?
Field Notes - Sorry bout the photo quality, the container I moved the bee in wasn't totally clear. This morning I found my dog chasing this Teddy bear bee around inside the house trying to eat it, so I caught it and released the very angry bee outside. The dog stayed inside :)
Flew into house and trapped behind glass briefly before released unharmed
Got some better photos of this bee today
