Small animal veterinarian, Delft, the Netherlands.
Bumblemania since 2017, you can ask me for bee photo's
We are just facing the beginning of climate change so I'm scared about the effects on nature.
Delft, Netherlands,these machines are widely used to efficiently cut, chop and suck away the vegetation on road verges. Removing nutrients included in the vegetation is a goal but no insect survives this!
The words on the side miss any connection to reality: flourishing verges, bees, biodiversity.

Morvan France, last month...
Streetname: Rat tail street
Drive faster!
There are still dogs, cats, children and elderly to whipe out!

Norway last winter, very little snow but nevertheless beautiful.

South Sweden summer 2024, lucky shot having two bumblebees sharp at once. Tree bumblebee and a white tailed bumblebee.

If I was younger and ecologist and British, I'd love it😍
Gill was very inspiring, but you'll probably have one more of her kind! 🥰

Congratulations Lars!

Second generation Bufftailed bumblebee queen foraging on Anemones in my backyard.
She is starting a new nest given the pollen on her hindlegs.
With autumn ahead and less flowers...

Three years ago at Canvey Wick, brown site next to the Thames estuary. After a wildfire new vegetation was flourishing with beautiful Shrill carder males foraging.

Alleen druk van buitenaf kan zorgen dat Israël stopt, dus ziet het er heel slecht uit voor Palestijnen. Een boek dat de hele aanloop naar de huidige situatie uitlegt is van Mark Mazower. De huidige situatie is begin 1900 al voorspeld door Joodse antizionisten in Polen. Lees dit boek!

In 2023 we found Bombus Brodmannicus in the French Alps. This bumblebee is dependend on pollen of Cerinthe Minor.
Amazingly fast bees, difficult to shoot beautifull coulours.
Three days later all was eaten by sheep sadly.

Some nice hoverfly shots of 2024.

A miniature common carderbee worker on a clover type plant.
Extreme contrast by shooting with my open shed in the background and the bee in the sun.

A Whitetailed bumblebee male on Teasel in my backyard.
Look at the beautiful purple spikey flower stems.
July 24, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Two nice backyard shots of Bombus lapidarius male foraging.

Lots of lovely red tailed bumblebees foraging on greater Knapweed. South of Delft, NL last weekend.
The ones with yellow are males, the black ones with red tails the workers. @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

Tiengemeten yesterday, a Bombus veteranus (Zandhommel) foraging.
This was the only one I've seen wich is quite disappointing.
July 5, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Hunderds of butterflies on the dikes of Tiengemeten.
July 5, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Tiengemeten isle yesterday, homo sapiens almost absent, extreme amounts of butterflies on Ragwort
July 5, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Yesterday we visisted Tiengemeten isle. Extreme draught and very little clover. Most bees on Senecio, Ragwort. Here a Redtailed male foraging. @natuurmonumenten.bsky.social

Being in love with a species doesn't mean they also like to meet you 😆....
The Great Yellow bumblebee queens on the Isle of Barra, Scotland hided between long grass foraging on Birdsfoot Trifoil. Some of the better shots.

Very interesting, a pollen corridor to connect plant patches, is that what you mean? In my wild flower city garden I try to bring randomly some new wild flower seeds to combat inbreeding of plants.

Shooting in the vegetation ith macro can give a warm cosy effect, I like that when it succeeds.
Again a moss Carder queen foraging on Birdsfoot Trifoil on Barra, Scotland last may.
Support the @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social , the bees are worth to be protected.

A Moss carder queen on white clover, lovely!!
Orange hairs on hindleg are typical.
