A very important thing to not here: Many solitary bee species are highly specialized in what plants they collect pollen from. Numerous species of bee will only collect pollen from one or a few closely related species of plant, which is why it is crucial for bee conservation to protect the plants the bees need. In short: If the right plants aren't there, you can build as many "bee hotels" as you want, you'll only help a handful of more generalist bees. EDIT: Spelling
@Shady Queens If you're happy & satisfied, cool. Just seemed like you were complaining or making fun of your bf ;) To answer your question.. a lot longer than a bee! 😂 But seriously it all depends, there are many variables. So anywhere from less than a minute to all night..
I can't even begin to explain how amazing this is, AWSOME imagery, great music, and actually teaching me something I've never heard anyone else talk about. Just thank you so much for making a great little documentary, and hope to see more like it in the future.
I m already 55 years old but I've never heard of solitary bees. Thanks a lot for the information that I'll certainly investigate further. I truly love to learn about simple, everyday facts of life that I 've never have a clue before.
As someone who is into macro photography I cant believe how you got some of this footage. Stunning work with a great message to heighten awareness. Very well done 👍
This was the most beautiful thing i ever watched on youtube. You deserve way more views and praise. Your job on this video is just AMAZING, so much emotions in so many forms just watching these little things.. it's magical!
I just took photos of a Wool Carder Bee this morning on my Mugworth. It was asleep on a flower and is buzzing around right now as I type this. I love this bee. My buddy in the morning when I water.
Awwh this is great. I'm studying environmental sciences at the UEA and have fallen in love with solitary bees in the last few months :) will forward this to the sustainability team :)
+Emily Lewis Thanks! Just so you know this is a free educational resource. So if you or anyone you know wants a copy of the film to use for educational purposes please just let us know!
You guys certainly deserve more views, and subscribers. Despite the currently low video count, these are amazing, and I certainly hope that this channel takes off like it really ought to.
This is a fantastically informative film on Solitary Bees, I fist saw it on the Vimeo platform and am pleased you have released it on TH-cam which should help it reach even more people, which is important because I feel most people only know a little bit about Honey Bees and Bumblebees and don't realise the importance of Solitary Bees as very important pollinators. Thank you for making such a lovely detailed film and I'm really looking forward to more films from Team Candiru.
The production quality of this video is astounding. The flow of the video, the music accompanying it and the high quality footage is something a TV studios would've make. I'm glad TH-cam recommended Me one of video Your video, this deserve a lot more attention.
Just by your word choice and music choice.... well, I never thought I'd cry from an educational bee video. Kudos to the narrator too, he's got a great voice and I hope he's in every future video.
I love this video. Stunning photography and so informative. Ive been reading and watching so much about solitary bees but this video is a joy to watch and I shall do so more than once or twice. Thank you. 🙏 🐝 🐝🌸🌸
I have subscribed, and I am excited for the new ones you have in store for us. I know that they will be exceedingly excellent. Keep on doing what you're doing! :)
Fabulous video, very educational. Thank you very much. In recent days, I've been trying to get a photo of a camera shy solitary bee who has showed up after a honey bee was last month, to keep helping pollinate my garden vegetables. With research, she is looking to be either an Andrena, or an Osmia specie. Yesterday I caught sight of the friend flying along the overhead beams for suitable hole to build a nest.
Thank you for this great documentary. I love all of your videos. You make them all engaging and I have learnt a lot from you. Thank Team Candiru for your beautiful videos. I liked and subbed as soon as I started watching your documentaries. They are really great. I have no words for how great they are. Right now all I can say is thank you for it.
@Team Candiru This is a film of its own class! Deserves so much more notice, I learnt so much more about bees! I never knew there was such thing as the solitary bee. Please keep up the amazing work, I look forward to seeing more of you videos!
Damn this was so good 😍 The close shots, the music effects, the gorgeous time-lapses of the flowers growing! And such pleasing and interesting narrative! Thanks, you got a new fan!
Nice to see some love for the solitary bees of the world. Here in Australia we have 1500+ species, and I think the average person on the street would be hard pressed naming two. :-(
@@TeamCandiru Could you cover the topic of the danger of human raised honey bees to wild solitary ones? Also a plus if the honey bees are imported species like European honeybees and the impact to native solitary bees. I saw some articles human raised ones often to develop more stress and wing diseases from the hives. Then human practicing to bring those hives from states to states fulfilling client's request on pollinating service. But those practices results in stress from moving a lot of places and risk of spreading/catching disease. Wild solitary bees are the most vulnerable ones catching this disease via sharing the flowers. And human favor and give more attention to honey bees more than solitary ones
This is too pure! Thank you for making this. Solitary bees don't get nowhere near as much recognition as honey bees. When most people here in the states want to take up bees for their gardens and farms, they go for European honey bees because of familiarity and wanting honey out of it(even if they don't use it themselves or sell it). They completely overlook any native bee options which is really sad because they're just as and even more productive as honey bees, yet easier to manage and some species don't even sting! My own father in law wanted to get honey bees but he isn't in the best health to take care of a farm or bees so it would have fallen on my husband and I(I'm deathly allergic btw). It took some serious convincing, plus a literal "I could die and their numbers are too high for our property area to manage without incident" talk to get him to understand that it wasn't the brightest idea. Tried to then tell him to go for an Mason bee species(non aggressive and females are less likely to sting unless provoked) but now he doesn't want to do it at all because, his exact words: "What's the point of getting bees if I get no honey out of it?"🙄 He's diabetic and I've never seen him eat honey in the near ten years I've been with my husband...
Thanks for watching! Yeah people in North America keeping honey bees is a source of annoyance to us... Like they are actually an invasive species. If it makes you feel any better your father in law almost certainly has a variety of solitary bees already living on his property already that he doesn't know about. They are pretty prolific.
I'm going to get carried away in this comment because I'm so glad I've found your channel. This great rendition could only arises from Truth through Passion. I mean that you put, into our realistic perspectives, the videodreams I was playing in my head for years. If there's any way I can contribute (Tipee...?), let me know ! (...) P-S : Pardon my English I'm French ^^
this spark the interest inside me on this little lovely creatures aside from bsf.. you have a very calming voice which matches the film, thank you brothers for the effort on making this video.
Great video. I am a PhD student studying the nesting preferences of ground-nesting solitary bees and this is the video I always share to whoever wants to know more about solitary bees.

As a young teenager making nature documentaries and filming insects was my life goal. This footage makes me warm for it again, thanks
You're a strange person. Only joking. Do it!
who needs natural geo when u got team candiru
+mark chan Thanks! :)
I have never commented on a TH-cam video despite over a decade of watching videos. I’ve found this to be the purest and most worthy one.
This is a fascinating film. The relaxing soundtrack matches the noble life style of these little bees quite well.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
@Shady Queens LOL.. that's sad! Not sure for who, you or bf.. both i guess?
@Shady Queens If you're happy & satisfied, cool. Just seemed like you were complaining or making fun of your bf ;)
To answer your question.. a lot longer than a bee! 😂 But seriously it all depends, there are many variables. So anywhere from less than a minute to all night..
@Shady Queens I think you two need to discover what a Candiru is, as you both appear to be obsessed with something similar to its behavior..

This needs a follow up where the family of red mason bees go on a hunt for the monster spider that killed their mother.
Mason Bees 2: Legacy of Revenge
The only monster is a human
Revenge is a waste of energy.
@@rigzzzzzzzzz Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
it's cleaning, not revenge. rigz
This film actually made me cry...very emotional. Many thanks

What a beautifully shot video. The narrator's voice is so soothing too.
WOW! Breathtakingly beautiful work! Well done.
but why only 8789 views? Seriously?

I just took photos of a Wool Carder Bee this morning on my Mugworth. It was asleep on a flower and is buzzing around right now as I type this. I love this bee. My buddy in the morning when I water.
I watched the whole thing so effortlessly. Really engaging, involved, and professionally produced!
Absolutely stunning video on a fantastic subject 😊
+WalkaboutLad Thanks! And thanks for sharing it!
That was a very relaxing documentary, completed by the gentle soothing voice of the narrator
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on TH-cam.
I used to be scared of these large honeybee-like insects. Now I love them. Thank you for the great work and efforts of this video.
Awwh this is great. I'm studying environmental sciences at the UEA and have fallen in love with solitary bees in the last few months :) will forward this to the sustainability team :)

What an Amazing short film, wonderful information about our pollinators!
wonderful film!! amazing shots, great music, and calm narration. this video is seriously underrated and deserves more recognition!
Dude, your videos are so awesome, unbelievably well produced and informative. Your lack of notoriety is almost criminal.
I only just heard about solitary bees for the first time. This is maybe the best indie nature documentary I've ever seen. I love bees
So beautiful and moving. Bees really are such hard workers. I have even more respect for them after watching this beautiful film.
this is very emotionally intense for a video about bees
This was so well done and truly deserves much more attention that this. The story telling is just awesome. Thank you guys!
I love this video. Stunning photography and so informative. Ive been reading and watching so much about solitary bees but this video is a joy to watch and I shall do so more than once or twice. Thank you. 🙏 🐝 🐝🌸🌸
I was looking for a video on leaf cutting bees when I found this video. So well made and informative. Always grateful for bees and their hardwork! 🐝
You create such good videos the cuts of the cells of the bees are magical

This was INCREDIBLY done, what a beautiful world we have.
It is like a bed time story. Loving it.
me sipping coffee, admiring these bees working hard on their nests.
*the spiders entered the scene*
**NOOOOOOOOOO**
What an absolutely beautiful documentary
Lol I didn’t want the video to end!! Well done, I fully enjoyed that! Please keep these sort of videos coming!
4:10 Poor honeybee.. it wasn't trying to 'be' a home invader!
* I made a pun :D
This was a beautiful video. I will look at bees with a new found view and appreciation.
RIP my mafakin red mason bee
Oh, come now, you must have loved that "warm welcome."
Thank you for this great documentary. I love all of your videos. You make them all engaging and I have learnt a lot from you. Thank Team Candiru for your beautiful videos.

Btw great music, and photography and script.
All three fitted perfectly
Aren't they magnificent creatures? Thanks for a super video.
I keep rewatching this. This is beautiful.
@Team Candiru This is a film of its own class! Deserves so much more notice, I learnt so much more about bees! I never knew there was such thing as the solitary bee. Please keep up the amazing work, I look forward to seeing more of you videos!
Thanks! We're trying to make one right now about solitary wasps. But its much harder!!! Wasps are way more tricky to film than bees!
I expect so wasps have a mean streak, I look forward to seeing it though, always want to learn more about the overlooked insects!
Damn this was so good 😍 The close shots, the music effects, the gorgeous time-lapses of the flowers growing! And such pleasing and interesting narrative! Thanks, you got a new fan!
I even feel more enthusiasm to build a nest for the solitary bees soon 🐝 💙 #thankyou
This is absolutely beautiful. I appreciate this video so much, thank you! You have a new subscriber
Thanks! Tell your friends!
Nice to see some love for the solitary bees of the world. Here in Australia we have 1500+ species, and I think the average person on the street would be hard pressed naming two. :-(
That EXACTLY why we made this film! :) Its the same here in the UK! No one realises just how many there are out there.Thanks for watching.

This video deserves much more credit. Simply amazing!!
Just amazing! This has just inspired me even further to follow this area of study for my dissertation on urban pollinators! just amazing!
Bees are amazing creatures. Would love to create a bee hotel for solitary bees in the future.
i randomly arrived to this video it was great to watch i thoroughly enjoyed it
Yono Sepe cool! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

This documentary is so well done I want more
another amazing video from a great team, thank you!
Stunning documentary and lovely voice!
dude why's this video so good?
Amazing filming. Just completed my degree project on solitary bees!
Awesome film! Some of the best close-up footage I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
This was an amazing documentary your team is very talended (seems like an enormous job to do such a quality work)
Thanks! It wasn't so hard. We are working on one about solitary wasps. That is a fair bit trickier.
Very awesome, bees are so special and adorable! So great to learn about solitary bees. :D
This was honestly so great . Thank you so much for your hard work
4:53 bro couldn’t wait to hit up that fresh bee skizzy
This is such an incredible film!
Thanks for making it and showing it to us. Kudos!
Well done. Great video. Love the audio work.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I'm listening to it on headphones and I had to pause couple times thinking it was a bug in my headphone, Nice touch great video
I find so adorable the bee checking her hotel room, she looks so cozy
You somehow make the British countryside even more beautiful

Anyone else from Man vs Bee on Netflix?
Great job Team Candiru! Loved the film and the subject matter.
Nice, straightforward, packed
with information. I love it. ❤🐝🌻
One of the best i have seen, amazing info and photography
Great video. I'll provide a bee guest house 🏠 for them in my garden. They deserved it as i always harvest my fruits and veggies, thanks to them.
This was so beautifully done I learnt so much, bees are magical 🐝🌼
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
After watching Man vs Bee
Danke für diesen lehrreichen und schönen Film.
this spark the interest inside me on this little lovely creatures aside from bsf.. you have a very calming voice which matches the film, thank you brothers for the effort on making this video.
From the perspective of a freelance cinematographer and sound engineer, I can’t stress how much time this probably took to create
Thanks! We were actually really proud of that.
The best solitary bee video on TH-cam! For sure! :))))
So the bee mom knows the sex of her eggs as she lays the male eggs closest to the entrance?
Very nice documentary on solitary bees... Thank you
We are all here after Man vs. Bee 🐝
Yes indeed 👍
Great video! The quality and film is perfect to teach of nature
Beautiful documentary...thank you
Makes you think a lot about life and how much instinct drives a large portion of life on the planet.
5:50 Bug: WTF Bee: ME TAKE NOW BUG: NAH BRUH COME GET THESE ANTENNAS
Wonderful, I am amazed that anyone would downvote it.
OMG! I love the narrators voice.. Thank You...
Great video. I am a PhD student studying the nesting preferences of ground-nesting solitary bees and this is the video I always share to whoever wants to know more about solitary bees.
This video is going to get a boost within coming days cuz of Man vs Bee. 😂
That crab spider just killed the bee why tf am i crying
loved it. glad the youtube algorithm brought me here
Great, a bee documentary made me cry
Beautiful documentary!
