Thankfully they do their usual front-door pollinating in my passion fruit's flower and yellow pumpkin (this one big enough to fit in). They dont touch the flower of my eggplants, chili, and sweet potatoes though maybe cuz its too small. But That's a trigona bees job to do that anyway (the small bees as small as mosquito)

this is why asteraecae (sunflower, goldenrod, etc.) flowers are so good for bees who don't have long tongues. they have open faces so it's easier to get the nectar. if you're trying to attract lots of different bees, make sure you have a variety of flower shapes!

You are right, the carpenter bees only touch my yellow pumpkin and passion fruit flower as they are open type and big to fit in. Though they are competing with honey bees with that. As for trigona sp (the size of a mosquito bees) regulerly pollinating the small flower types like sweet potatoes, eggplants, and chili
@chitinskin98602 жыл бұрын
That's generally a good idea for attracting all pollinators, not just bees, flowers with open faces for example are great for all hymenopterans (and most pollinating insects honestly), while tube ones are generally best for big lepidopterans, bee flies, and hummingbirds, or anything with a long enough tongue. Make sure that the plants are native to wherever you live though, don't want to support anything invasive (yes, invasive bees do exist).

Carpenter bees might not sting, but they CAN bite. I was in one of the tents my dad uses to store firewood in order to unload some new logs and there was a carpenter bee flying around. I was giving her plenty of distance to do her own thing, trying to be polite, but I had to get to the back of the tent where my dad was driving the tractor up to unload (instead of having to drive around a fence and then carry the logs through the narrow passage around the drying wood). Anyway, the bee decided that I had gotten too close, landed on the bridge of my nose, and bit me. She sliced off a good 1/16th by 1/4 inch bit of skin and it hurt like the dickens and I promptly Noped out.
@anomalocarisgaming82052 жыл бұрын
I’m sure the bees stealing nectar this way does not pose a substantial threat to the species of plant they do this to as a whole, as that would lead to that species going extinct in that area. The plant must have some adaptions to help counter this issue, right? Maybe the plants have their own form of predator satiation like periodical cicadas, producing so many flowers that some of them are bound to get pollinated the proper way.
