However, this gave me, the new Bumble Bee Conservation Technician, the opportunity to photograph and appreciate insects other than bumble bees that were visiting the spring flowers along picturesque forest paths.<\/p>\n<p>During our survey our eyes were drawn to the numerous Carlin\u2019s mining bees that are out and about. Mining bees are some of the earliest emerging bees of the season. At a glance, her colouration and fluffiness closely resemble a small bumble bee worker. As seasoned entomologists who have been identifying bees for multiple years, we know she is not a bumble bee, but our excitement gets the better of us throughout the survey.<\/p>\n<p>This time of year, any bumble bees we expect to see would be queens &#8211; the mother of the colony. Queen bumble bees are often much larger than their worker bees. For example, common eastern bumble bee (<em>Bombus impatiens<\/em>) queens are 21-23mm in length, while workers are only 9-14mm in length. While these Carlin\u2019s mining bee that kept catching my eye were an appropriate size for a worker bumble bee (~12mm), they are much smaller than the queens we are expecting to see and record.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-7qyaxud-92f8c8fdc0f141766dbfa42fa95f7284 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mrwfam7a-b6954776a67929311a06be423dfcb249\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mrwfam7a-b6954776a67929311a06be423dfcb249 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mrwfam7a-b6954776a67929311a06be423dfcb249 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mrwfam7a-b6954776a67929311a06be423dfcb249 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-54103 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-54103 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/YouDontAlwaysFindTheBeesThatYoureLookingFor_YellowBandedBumbleBeeQeen_EllenRichard.png' alt='' title='YouDontAlwaysFindTheBeesThatYoureLookingFor_YellowBandedBumbleBeeQeen_EllenRichard'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-760z645-f332dc7ab83784ad9c18ab1271e9579b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-760z645-f332dc7ab83784ad9c18ab1271e9579b{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-760z645-f332dc7ab83784ad9c18ab1271e9579b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrwfap70-e71073a603f3c443a385f07a0d4e7a26'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Yellow banded bumble bee queen (Bombus terricola) on Sakura cherry.

This is because bumble bee queens are just starting to emerge from hibernation and not all species emerge during the same time periods; some emerge early (April) and some emerge late (May). It is important that we capture these bumble bees as soon as they emerge since we need to make sure queens collected for our conservation breeding have not yet established a nest site, which is their primary goal after emerging. We are hoping we can convince these bumble bee queens that we have a suitable home for her to make their colonies in our Bumble Bee Conservation Breeding Trailer!<\/p>\n<p>Canada has an enormous diversity of facinating and unique native bees, home to 800+ species. The Bumble Bee Recovery team are very excited to be out in the field and eager to see our bumble bee friends.
