This Bee Builds Sandcastles at the Beach | Deep Look

It might seem peculiar to see bees at the beach. But the bumblebee-mimic digger bee (Anthophora bomboides stanfordiana) makes its home at beaches in Northern California and Oregon.

They can make 80 daily trips back and forth from the stream to a cliff onto which they spray the water to soften it up. This allows them to dig a series of holes into which they lay their eggs. --- Do many bees nest in the ground? Yes. About 70% of the world’s bee species nest underground. --- Where else do bees make their nests? Mason bees, such as blue orchard bees, make their nests inside narrow cavities – for example, hollow twigs. And carpenter bees dig their nests in wood. --- Why do bees mimic other bees? The bumblebee-mimic digger bees featured in this episode don’t sting. But they resemble bumblebees like the yellow-faced bumblebee (Bombus vosnesenskii), which does sting. This resemblance helps the bumblebee-mimic scare away predators. ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1976046/... ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Honey Bees Make Honey ... and Bread?    • Honey Bees Make Honey ... and Bread? ...   This Bee Gets Punched by Flowers For Your Ice Cream    • This Bee Gets Punched by Flowers for ...   Watch This Bee Build Her Bee-jeweled Nest    • Watch This Bee Build Her Bee-jeweled ...   This Vibrating Bumblebee Unlocks a Flower’s Hidden Treasure    • This Vibrating Bumblebee Unlocks a Fl...   ---+ Shoutout! 🏆Congratulations🏆 to the following 5 fans on our Deep Look Community Tab for correctly answering that when ground-nesting bees build all their burrows next to each other, it is called "gregarious nesting" or an "aggregation."
