Bumblebees are all male and cannot sting you because they have no stinger so never kill or swat at them . Only the smaller females bees sting
Naps, after my own heart!
So cute
Those are carnivorous flowers. They attract the bees, then eat them. These pictures are horrific.
These are NOT carnivorous plants!

Most awesome pictures I’ve had seen. So cute and well taken pictures.
Wondering how long the photographer awaiting such moments to capture such great pictures.
Hardwaork paid off.

Too funny & whether asleep temporarily or permanently they look peaceful & as much as I dislike the word cute.
Someone should take photos of photographers falling asleep waiting for honey bees.
Worker bumblebees are all female and can sting multiple times because their stingers lack barbs
Carnivorous flowers? 😂😂 I probably ought to rethink my spring garden full of crocuses, lillies, snapdragons, tulips and geraniums then because clearly I have a whole little shop if horrors thing going on #beedeathtrap
They’re not carnivorous flowers. One is a dandelion, ffs.
But I guess you’re either trolling or Trying to do a joke.
To the person who said bumblebees don’t sting…. Not true. It is also false that foraging bumblebees are all male.
The bumblebees you see foraging on flowers are mostly female workers. The queen also forages, but only early in the season when she is gathering resources to form a new colony.
There are also male workers, but they are less abundant.
Only females can sting. The stinger is different from that of a honeybee in that it has no barbs. This means the bumblebee can sting repeatedly, unlike a honeybee, which can only sting once and then dies.
That said, bumblebees tend to be quite docile and rarely sting.
Finally, you should never “swat” any bee because that makes it much more likely that you will get stung. Bees don’t sting for no reason at all. They sting to defend themselves or their colony.
I don’t know about that, I forced myself to stand perfectly still and shut my eyes, I still got stung on my thigh 😂
Ftr I think the “carniverous flowers” post is hilarious. Get a sense of humor, people. And – the pictures are fantastic!
Aw, cute little fuzzy bee butts! 😍
I’m surprised if they ARE sleeping, they work tirelessly from dust till dawn in my yard!!
Hilarious. And beautiful photos!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww I wanna snuggle!
