@kcbee1218: Replying to @Oso Picky it was a cool 65°F this morning & I caught this lil guy snoozing for almost the whole time I was out there. Even other bees buzzing in the blossom didn’t bother him! 😴 DID YOU KNOW: Squash bees nap inside squash blossoms for a variety of reasons: 🐝 energy crash: they’re tired from collecting nectar and pollen 🐝 to get warm: if it’s below 60°F, their wing muscles can lock up and they wait for the sun to warm them up 🐝 looking for ladies: they sleep in the blossoms waiting for females to arrive #bees #gardening #pollinators #pumpkinpatch #squashblossoms
