I am not an expert on wildlife, but I do know there is more than one type of bee. There are loads of solitary type bees for starters.

Identify solitary bees in the UK | The Wildlife Trusts

So when I saw these insects, I just identified them as a "bee", they could have been wasps or hornets for all I know. Most likely solitary bees.

They have all been probably killed off with agricultural chemicals in the USA. Still loads on the West Coast of Scotland though.

FYI, the data on Ivermectin & Covid is real. A FACT.

Don't believe me, "Google" it... you will see for yourself.

Evidence submitted to the UK Parliament,

Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Theresa Anne Lawrie, Director, The Evidence-based Medicine Consultancy Ltd

This review and meta-analysis confirms that ivermectin substantially reduces the risk of a person dying from COVID-19 by probably somewhere in the region of 65% to 92% according to RCT data. The uncertainty in the evidence relates to the precise extent of the reduction, not in the effectiveness of ivermectin itself.

There is so much more out there if you bother to look with open eyes.
About The FLCCC - FLCCC Alliance (covid19criticalcare.com)

The trouble is a lot of people are just really dumb f**king clucks that just believe the big business propaganda put onto CNN and other media channels.
There is a huge body of evidence out there that Ivermectin is an effective component in treating Covid 19. The only reason contrary data was fed to the public imho is that these cheaper solutions weaken the business case for the dodgy (neither Effective nor Safe) Covid vaccines.

Yeah... about that "Safe & Effective" slogan... it was used before, ... for Thalidomide. Just listen to the subdued roar in the background, from the sound proofed public gallery.



Shame of you for your denialism!

This Big Pharma vaccine thing is a f**king nightmare out there at the moment.

What is wrong with you? Are you just a simpleton?? Is that it??

During the USA bee shortage, they were flying over 747's over from Australia full of bees.

Not sure what your bee population is like today, but Australia will no longer be exporting bees.

The communists have decided we all need a little starving, so no need for bees and pollination.

More on bees and insect migrations.

Besides solitary bees doing their own stuff, insects in general migrate huge distances in some cases.

<< The yellow and black striped flies are common throughout Europe - recent research has shown they can migrate 3,000km in autumn.>>

Flying over mountain ranges no big deal.

No big surprise they fly out to islands in territorial waters also. I know this for sure as I already told you.

'One of the great wonders of nature': Insect migration superhighway discovered | Science & Tech News | Sky News

Researchers have found the route of one of Europe's busiest winter getaways - the annual migration of millions of insects heading south through a high mountain pass in the Pyrenees.

Using video cameras and butterfly nets, researchers from the University of Exeter recorded an estimated 17 million flies, wasps, butterflies and dragonflies pouring through a single 30-metre-wide pass between two peaks on the border of France and Spain each autumn.

"To see so many insects all moving purposefully in the same direction at the same time is truly one of the great wonders of nature," said Dr Karl Wooton, from Exeter's Centre for Ecology and Conservation, who led the research.

The study found billions of insects probably buzz and flap their way over the Pyrenees annually.

Many are making their way from their northern summer ranges including in the UK, to locations in southern Europe and north Africa where winters are milder.

The researchers had a clue that the 2,278-metre-high Pass of Bujaruelo was a major insect flyway.

More than 70 years ago a pair of British ornithologists first recorded swarms of marmalade hoverflies pouring through the pass. The yellow and black striped flies are common throughout Europe - recent research has shown they can migrate 3,000km in autumn.

"What we found was truly remarkable," said William Hawkes from the University of Exeter who carried out the field recordings.

"Not only were vast numbers of marmalade hoverflies still migrating through the pass, but far more besides."

Cabbage white butterflies - common garden pests that even the researchers didn't know were long distance travellers until they recorded their presence - hummingbird hawk moths, various species of wasp and a spectacular number of flies.

"There were some days when the number of flies was well over 3,000 individuals per metre, per minute," said Hawkes.

Insect air traffic may be invisible, but it's an essential part of ecology.

Nearly 90% of the insects the researchers recorded are pollinators. On their migration, they expand the gene pool of plants over vast distances.

While some, like the cabbage white are pests, others are natural pest control. Many species of hoverflies have predatory larvae that control other insects like aphids.

Then there's the physical movement of tonnes of insect "biomass" from one place to another. Not just prey for bats and birds, but once dead and fallen to the ground they are nutrients for other forms of life too.

"By spreading the knowledge of these remarkable migrants, we can spread interest and determination to protect their habitats," said Mr Hawkes.
