This dead buff-tailed #bumblebee is being investigated by #ants. Now, ants do a couple of interesting things with dead bees. They are either harvesting it for nutrients. A number of ants will swarm the body and dismantle it as it is rich in nutrients and will feed their young. Alternatively, if it is really starting to decay, a sanitation process called necropherosis will take place where they will move it away from the colony. 
One thing I didn't know today was how closely related ants are to bees. Bee and ant corpses release similar chemical signals which, in the case of ants discovering a dead bee, prompts those specific sanitation or scavenging responses. #DamnNatureYouScary #CheesebeesPhotoChallenge2026Week21 #nature #wildlife]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/cb0c5097-c865-436e-9f41-3c89ca99b997/today-s-lookingdown-photo-tells-a-gruesome-tale.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/cb0c5097-c865-436e-9f41-3c89ca99b997/today-s-lookingdown-photo-tells-a-gruesome-tale.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[wildatheart@gram.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
