It's #WorldBeeDay and I love bees! This is a silvery leaf bee from last Invertober. Most of our beautiful (and helpful!) bees are solitary bees like this one.

Yes! Most bees live alone in burrows in the ground, dead/diseased trees, or hollow plant stems and don't cooperate with other bees of the same kind. Some like to have burrows near others and some have communal nests, but most don't share labor like honeybees and bumblebees do.
Hm, I can't think of any long form ones off the top of my head, but Deep Look does short videos and has a bunch of short videos about bees, I really like this one about digger bees. I recommend searching their YouTube for others, good stuff!
