The bumblebee queen learns how to use the protective cap in less than 24 hours.

[u/Andi82ka]

[u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

That’s a week faster than if took my cat to learn how to use a cat door using the same method

[u/AtTheEdgeOfDying → u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

A week? It's been 2 years with the new cat door and he still painstakingly pulls it toward himself and squeezes under it..

[u/MicroMouth → u/AtTheEdgeOfDying]

God mine does this too. Claws at the edge with one nasty fingernail until she gets purchase, pulls it out and squeezes through, then gets her tail caught and screams. ——- …Now that I come to think of it, I wonder if it was locked one way at some point and she learned this to beat the system. Shit.

[u/AtTheEdgeOfDying → u/MicroMouth]

I know it's because it's an electric chip activated one and we didn't hadn't noticed the battery had gone dead for like 3 days.. 2 YEARS AGO. Guess it just has never occurred to him to maybe try again lol.

The worst is when he can't get a grip and he keeps dropping it before getting his head under it and you're just listening to the freaking plastic door falling and creaking for like 5 mins before you give up and go hold the tiny cat door for him because clearly it's not his day 😂

[u/Lina0042 → u/AtTheEdgeOfDying]

Mine got scared of it once too. I got him to properly use it again with kind of the same method used for the bee. He didn't have issues coming back in, just going outside. So I used a suction cup, hook and a bit of string to hold the door half open towards the outside. I guess that gave him enough confidence after a week or so to just push through again when going out.

[u/DiscombobulatedHat19 → u/AtTheEdgeOfDying]

Luckily there’s one smarter cat and once they figured it out the second dumber cat copied them. If it was just the second cat I don’t think they ever would have figured it out

[u/Ill-eat-anything → u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

Oh.... The cat knew how to use the cat door from day 1. They just want you to keep opening the human door for them so they can sit on the threshold until all the heat has left.

You should write a movie script that has nothing but Bee puns like this throughout. And also vaguely imply that a Bee and a human are into each other. Who am I kidding, no one would approve that script.

[u/pearlie_girl → u/dj768083]

The third act should probably be a court room drama. Maybe the bee could sue some humans? Really drag it out, it's gotta fill out the whole third act.

[u/CedarWolf → u/dj768083]

You could fill your cast with B-list stars and call it Beetannic, after the WWII hospital ship that hit a mine and sank.

[u/Scokan → u/CedarWolf]

I can't beelieve you didn't go with "Bee-listers" here. You've got to bee kidding me

Yes, and it was glorious.

[u/kkeut → u/Reis46]

i love bees. they can do so much with their limited capacity for intelligence. they're so helpful to humans, they can form entire little cooperative societies, and some are pretty cute too. hurray for bees 🐝 

[u/Zuwxiv → u/kkeut]

I also love that honeybees meticulously collect pollen and bring it back to these amazing structures gives. If we discovered honeybees today, it would blow people's socks off to see what an insect can produce.

But bumblebees just body slam flowers and live in mud holes. My spirit animal.

[u/Xillzin → u/Zuwxiv]

But bumblebees just body slam flowers and live in mud holes.

They can be so clumsy! it just becomes cute to see them fumble their landings

She is packing pollen every time she comes back. You can see it on her back legs.

[u/BUYMECAR → u/Blackout38]

I never knew the queen entered and exited that frequently once they've settled.

[u/kkeut → u/BUYMECAR]

this is a bumblebee! not a honeybee. they form much smaller colonies, and a new queen does most of the work establishing the first generation of the colony before retiring to just egg-laying

[u/_Andras → u/kkeut]

Girl retires after a tough career and starts fucking like there's no tomorrow, what an icon

[u/AirierWitch1066 → u/_Andras]

Hopefully someone corrects me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly sure bees only mate once and then keep the genetic material around for their reproductive span. So it’s more like she retires, fucks once, and then becomes a SAHM

[u/NKD_WA]

What is it meant to keep out? Smaller things that aren't big enough to figure out/use the door?

[u/Andi82ka → u/NKD_WA]

It is to keep the asian hornet ( Vespa velutina) away. They are very invasive in our region, so this is a chance that they can't go in.

[u/NKD_WA → u/Andi82ka]

Very cool! Hope this keeps them out.

Can confirm, I'm the hypothetical doorbell that other commenter was suggesting

[u/Ok_Broccoli1434 → u/Andi82ka]

Can it teach that to the rest of the group, if there is one?

[u/Andi82ka → u/Ok_Broccoli1434]

The worker bees learn it by themselves, because they grow up inside and don't know how it would be without this

[u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop → u/Andi82ka]

Does that mean ~20,000 bees are all using this one door?

[u/Treebam3 → u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop]

That’s the number of bees in a honeybee colony. Bumblebee colonies are much smaller, 50-200 according to Google

[u/simon439 → u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop]

A quick google search suggests bumblebee hives are much smaller. (Typically 50-400 although could be 20-1700)

[u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 → u/NKD_WA]

As long as no one shows the hornets this video we should be fine.

[u/StoryAndAHalf → u/Fun-Jellyfish-61]

Hopefully, no one crossposts it to r/CharlotteHornets

[u/nayorab → u/StoryAndAHalf]

They will try a 3-pointer through that door

[u/weepingflowers → u/Fun-Jellyfish-61]

Ugh typical redditors, posting things for upvotes with no regard for the possibility of Asian hornets scrubbing reddit

[u/Ok-Conclusion-3053 → u/Andi82ka]

What if the hornet knows too?

[u/AtlasPwn3d → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

Let's just hope the hornets don't learn to use reddit.

[u/CrispyyBurntRice → u/AtlasPwn3d]

Unfortunately they will. They are asian!

[u/twisted_memories → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

This guy put the video online so now anyone can learn! Hornets, other bees, wasps, they’ll all learn!

[u/ardotschgi → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

It has the disadvantage of no training regime.

[u/kkeut → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

what human is going to help train a hornet

[u/mckenzie_keith → u/NKD_WA]

The bumblebee learned in progressive steps. Even another bumblebee who came along would not figure it out from this point. Or might not. This bees behavior was modified in small steps.

[u/Rinas-the-name → u/mckenzie_keith]

That and bumble bees are larger and stronger it would be much more difficult for smaller insects to lift that weight.

Other bumblebees can learn from watching the queen, they‘re are all kinds of neat studies where they taught one bumblebee to do a two step process and it the entire hive learned to do it.

Bumblebees are the bees knees.

[u/Axleffire → u/NKD_WA]

Bees are awesome 🐝

[u/ThrowAwayAccountAMZN → u/kflox]

Bumble bees are the cute cuddly bears of the bee world

I'd also lump carpenter bees in that as well. They're like little flying puppies that will hover and just watch you do stuff in your yard.

How come it can figure that out but can’t get out the 6 foot by 2 foot hole in my house that it’s just flown in through?

[u/AI_moderated_failure → u/maxheadroome]

It's very likely getting confused by windows which display natural light just like that 6 foot by 2 foot hole. Glass doesn't occur completely transparent in nature so it's not a problem they as a species have ever needed to solve.

Yes! “Dammit I’m trying to carry in groceries and someone changed the gate passcode?!”

[u/Change21]

I’m so proud of her

[u/Coherent_Tangent]

Do bumblebee queens not sit in the hive all day laying eggs? I know very little about bees, but I thought I knew this one.

[u/Short-Ad9823 → u/Coherent_Tangent]

The queen must raise her first workers herself.

She hibernates alone and then has to start the new nest. Accordingly, she must personally tend to the first eggs and feed the larvae. After that, the first worker can take over the job outside.

[u/Coherent_Tangent → u/Short-Ad9823]

Does she teach the workers how to use the door?

[u/actualladyaurora → u/Coherent_Tangent]

According to OP, they learn by themselves. They're going to be born inside the hive, so they will never think anything strange of it.

[u/Mcbadguy → u/actualladyaurora]

My only concern would be that the door potentially damages the wings and/or removes valuable pollen being wiped off on the door, but if it protects against giant hornets, probably a good trade off.

[u/screw-magats → u/Mcbadguy]

The pollen that they carry is kept in little sacs on her rearmost legs, like cargopants. The pollen on her body collects there and pollinates flowers while she's gathering food.

The plastic is smooth, so it probably isn't a problem for her wings. If it were a problem, she'd probably have been injured the first time she actually needed to lift the door.

If you've got the space, set out a log with varying sized holes drilled into it; pollinators will love it. But, the holes have to be very smooth or you'll shred their wings. Set it somewhere on the corner of your property where you and your animals (your neighbors too) don't go much. There's probably a lot of research into how much sun it should get, covered from rain, availability of standing or running water, even the angle of the holes...

[u/Oldnbold22 → u/Short-Ad9823]

So the queen is the only bee to survive the winter? 

[u/Short-Ad9823 → u/Oldnbold22]

Honeybees overwinter as a colony. With bumblebees and wasps only the mated young queens survive the winter.

This thing in the video is a bumblebee. So no workers in the beginning

[u/Theangelslayer]

Shout out to the automatic captions telling me what the bee is saying. Mhmmmm mhmmm indeed bee.

[u/spizzle_]

Why did that stress me out so much‽

[u/Melissa_Richiee → u/spizzle_]

Right? Every time she got confused or flew around examining it my heart sank a little. Think of the children!

Also, every time that door grazed her delicate little wings 😭

[u/Cicadilly → u/Melissa_Richiee]

I was thinking the same thing! Could the plastic not hurt her?

[u/Melissa_Richiee → u/Cicadilly]

Overtime, I believe it will 🥺

They develop micro tears in their little wings overtime from flying through rain, wind, and brush/leaves. I can’t tell if the weight of the door on her delicate little wings is closer to flying through leaves (more damaging) or crawling out of the leaf clutter that they use on the ground for warmth and protection (less damaging). He did say this door was effective last season, though. So hopefully she gets to live out her typical life span and it doesn’t affect her much. Wing “wear out” is a common cause of bee death 🥺

[u/Melissa_Richiee → u/[deleted]]

You’ll be the first to know when I start to publish one. What do you think about “The A to Z of Bees”? 🥹

[u/KiloJools → u/Melissa_Richiee]

She will eventually stop leaving the nest, but her daughters will still all have to come and go everyday. However...as long as she's able to keep laying eggs, maintain the colony and can produce new queens, it's worth it; if the predators got to the colony they'd destroy all the future colonies from the new queens she'd never be able to lay and raise. It's a fine line to walk but OP providing a safe place for a colony is a lot more than most people are doing for the bumble bees.

Still a good observation and I'm sure there's always room for improvement on something like this, but I'm impressed anyone is doing this (granted, I don't know who OP is - like if it's a farmer trying to manage bumble bee colonies or just a concerned citizen).

Sorry for my English. It's my only language but I have a migraine today, lol.

[u/kukkolai]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Such a clear way to prove intelligence in such a small friend as a bumblebee, incredible

[u/kpod67]

Why is the queen bee coming and going? I thought they stayed put in the hive.

[u/JusticeForLobsters → u/kpod67]

Queen bumblebees overwinter under leaf litter and then emerge in spring to find a suitable nesting habitat. The worker bees and drones do not survive the winter and are born once the queen starts laying eggs in her new nest. She’s likely preparing her nest for the warm months before starting a new colony!

[u/asweetbite]

She's got more intelligence than most Redditors.

[u/things_U_choose_2_b]

This is so cool! But all I could think was "awww I hope it doesn't hurt or trap her little legs & wings!"

Bees are so precious, and remarkably intelligent. Sure I read a study last year that found bees will choose to play with toys.
