There were fifteen contributors to this week's survey. The weather was hot and mostly sunny. Although male bumble bees are bigger than workers, they are dwarfed by the even larger queens, as shown below. A couple of facts about bees and wasps: only females have stingers, and males hatch from unfertilized eggs but have an extra abdominal segment (seven vs. the females' six).
