This is a wonderful fact! Thank you :)
Did you know that bumblebees actually sleep in flowers for warmth? I learned this from @clairebobrow.bsky.social amazing book WHEN BUMBLEBEES GO TO SLEEP.

Feel like this chonky bee is slipping into a Golden Poppy sleeping bag.
Of course, pollinators — being the wily creatures they are — don't always strictly follow the rules. Sometimes they find shortcuts, cheats, and workarounds. Like this bumblebee burrowing her way into a California poppy that was ready to shut shop for the day, thus forming a perfect bumblebeerrito
