Today I found this huge Anthophora bee nesting site. There were hundreds of nests with bees coming in and out to stock their brood cells.

I love sweat bees, used to make refuges for them when it rains, it actually worked!

Currently keeping:
1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers + BIG brood pile + 10 pupa
1x Crematogaster cerasi, 2 workers + eggs / larva? (pls don't die workers) *1 is trying to die* (I SAID DON’T DIE)
1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers
*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*

Found this tiny bee flying around today.
No idea what it is but it looked cool so I took a picture. Maybe 5-6 millimeters.
I had more pictures but they were too blurry.

Found a huge queen wasp today. I'm going to post on the id section to see what it was.
Also found a male carpenter bee.

Honeybee swarm in South Korea! It's my first time seeing one and I knew I had to run back home to grab my phone for some pictures!
They were swarming in a dry drainage ditch so I'm a little worried for them. Hopefully there won't be rain!
Also, they happened to swarm on an ant trail, so I could sometimes see them nipping at each other.

A cool Osmia bee on my Penstemon digitalis. These look like bumblebees until you give a closer look.
