BEE-TASTIC FACT OF THE DAY!⠀ The Rusty Patched Bumble Bee is the first bumble bee – and the first bee of any type native to mainland United States – to be listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act. ⠀ Rusty Patched Bumble Bees live in colonies made up of a single queen bee and between 50 and several hundred female worker bees. Males called drones are produced towards the end of the colony’s life cycle.⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ - ⠀ -⠀ #photooftheday #grateful # gratitude #blessed #photooftheday #nationalhoneymonth #honeymonth #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect
