- frereubuThis is the study itself, which is much better, including photos of the equipment in the cemetery: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13592-026-01256-6The only illustration in this article is a photo of a bee, not the cemetery, and when I turned my adblocker off the white spaces I thought might be images are all the same advert about apnea with a guy lolling around in bed with his mouth agape.
- khat"Underground network" in the title but "They live alone..." in the article. I don't care enough to look it up but it sounds like its not a network they are just ground dwelling bees that live in close proximity to other bees, and the author needed a click-bait-y title.
- shellfishgeneHere is a nice video with slow motion footage of the bees in flight, and an interview with the researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jje1LPrsHbc
- SchlagbohrerNew burial form unlocked: casket designed for ideal ingress/egress for soil living creatures, including ground dwelling bees and wasps.
- massysettThe bees live alone and do not seem to socialize in any way, so this is not a “network” or “city”. The study says “aggregation” which is more appropriate.
- smalltorchI guess that is a pretty smart place to set up your home.
- KingOfCoders"where they live out their entire lives below ground, building nests, raising young, and going mostly unnoticed." How do they feed?And later the article contradicts this by saying they go above ground.I'm confused.
