A typical day in this role involved completing three-hour surveys which included catching bumble bees with a sweep net, placing them in a vial, and noting species identification on the vial. It was also important to take note of the variety of flowers in bloom within the survey area and any flowers that the bumble bees were caught on. Roughly two surveys were completed each workday on sunny, warm days which is when bumble bees are most active. Some key skills gained through this role were spotting bumble bees and with bumble bee and wildflower identification.<\/p>\n<p>During my first week of volunteering with WPC I learned how to locate and capture bumble bees! (<em>Images below: Braelyn uses a bug net to gently catch the bumble bee, and place it in the vial).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column

itemprop=\"text\" ><p>I was given a sweep net with a long, telescopic handle, as well as a cooler bag full of empty vials and an ice pack. My job was to catch all the bumble bees I found, place them in a vial for easier identification, and keep them calm and comfortable in my cooler bag until the end of the three-hour survey when we would release them. Sounds simple, right?<\/p>\n<p>But what I didn\u2019t know was how closely some things looked like bumble bees. I began my first survey excitedly, ready to fill my bag full of vials with bumble bees, however I realized I was not finding them as quickly as I had hoped! Was I not looking in the correct habitats? Did the bumble bees prefer different flowers elsewhere? I didn\u2019t know. As I continued my search, I came across a big bee that was yellow and black. I couldn\u2019t believe that my luck had changed, and I was going to catch my first bumble bee! I swung my net back and forth a few times before the bee was caught.<\/p>\n<p>I was ecstatic to have caught my first bee of the day! Joyfully, I stored the filled vial in my cooler bag, excited for all bumble bees to come.<\/p>\n<p>I continued with the rest of the survey and caught only a handful of bees. I felt that since I was still learning, this was sure to impress the program coordinator. As the bees were separated into categories of what behavior they were exhibiting before being caught, I eagerly brought my bees out to start sorting. I still required some assistance with bumble bee identification and handed off each of my bees to the coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked to find out that not all the bees I collected were bumble bees!<\/p>\n<p>As I took a closer look, I realized that some of my bumble bees were instead carpenter bees (<em>Xylocopa virginica<\/em>)! Carpenter bees are not a type of bumble bee (genus <em>Bombus<\/em>) which meant that, in my first survey, I caught fewer bumble bees than I had thought. With this realization, I quickly learned to watch for the identification markers before catching a big, black and yellow bee.<\/p>\n<p>So what identification markers am I looking for?<\/p>\n<p>During a survey, when bees are darting around flowers looking for pollen and nectar, it can be difficult to know exactly what I\u2019m looking at before I capture it. Carpenter bees and bumble bees are both native to Ontario, and to the untrained eye, one can look like the other. Carpenter bees, like bumble bees, have hairs on their face, a thorax covered in dense yellow hairs, and hairy legs. However, carpenter bees have a smooth, bald abdomen (the long part of the body towards their rear), while most bumble bees have hairs of various colors on their abdomen. Bumble bees can possess a combination of black, yellow, white, red, or brown hairs on the different segments of their abdomen, but again, a carpenter\u2019s abdomen would appear shiny due to the lack of hairs!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1zy56wq-964581373db21a625497440b05ece111 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzvct8ld-c3939f76fef476aab73991212fe2d03d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzvct8ld-c3939f76fef476aab73991212fe2d03d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzvct8ld-c3939f76fef476aab73991212fe2d03d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzvct8ld-c3939f76fef476aab73991212fe2d03d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-21  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-47682 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47682 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/w-p2jpg.jpg' alt='' title='w-p2jpg'  height=\"800\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1qobg0q-f0d7dc0b0c24f98babf74b9ea0a7a95b av_one_half  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzvcteh2-125f252e3ec80955e444088e6c272f75\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzvcteh2-125f252e3ec80955e444088e6c272f75 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzvcteh2-125f252e3ec80955e444088e6c272f75 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzvcteh2-125f252e3ec80955e444088e6c272f75 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-47681 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47681 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/w-p3.jpg' alt='' title='w-p3'  height=\"800\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1pf8xiy-f8c717482a13ba0744c9be8f2beee42c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzvntyod-68bbc7cbf6b1f0e5be83815419dc12fc\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-lzvntyod-68bbc7cbf6b1f0e5be83815419dc12fc{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-lzvntyod-68bbc7cbf6b1f0e5be83815419dc12fc hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-25  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-17vfqd6-9f14a9e8a61b098504c585cb3e44c493'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>An eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica) (left: photo by akiyoko on iStock) and a common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) (right: photo by Braelyn Smallwood).

Contrast the shiny, hairless abdomen of the carpenter bee with the hairy abdomen of the bumble bee.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This all seems simple, right? I just have to watch for the shiny behinds of carpenter bees and leave them be, focusing solely on the bumble bees that we are monitoring in the field.<\/p>\n<p>It was easy enough until I learned that there are some bumble bees that have fewer hairs on their abdomens, almost like a carpenter bee! The lemon cuckoo bumble bee (<em>Bombus citrinus<\/em>) in particular can look a little suspicious at first glance. This is due to lemon cuckoo bumble bees having much shorter hairs on the abdomen than most other bumble bees.
