Thank you to Tracey Carter for sending in this fascinating time-lapse of a bumblebee nest being constructed in her shed! 🐝 The mound of fluff that is bulging out and moving across the floor apparently wasn't there before, but appeared when the bumblebees started building the nest. It seems the bumblebees have moved a load of old shredded newspaper and plastic bags, and it looks very cosy! | Bumblebee Conservation Trust

This brilliant footage shows one of the UK's rarest bumblebees - a Shrill carder bee. They are so named because of their noticeably high-pitched buzz! This lovely video was taken last summer at Cliffe Pools in Kent, by volunteer Alan Cobb. | Bumblebee Conservation Trust
