Carder Bee

[Sandy S]

I wonder what Wool Carder Bees do to dissuade others from entering their territory?

[Whilst Out Walking]

Apparently they physically push them away - moves like that

[Sandy S]

So they can't be stung by other bees? Hmm They do look powerful for their size. I wonder if the emit a scent?

I've never actually seen a Wool Carder Bee, but Common Carders are common around Edinburgh, though I've never seen them carding anything.

[Gordon Mack Scott]

Perhaps they've been red-carded by other creatures....
