The Solitary Bees 

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

who needs natural geo when u got team candiru

This needs a follow up where the family of red mason bees go on a hunt for the monster spider that killed their mother.

This is a fascinating film. The relaxing soundtrack matches the noble life style of these little bees quite well.

As a young teenager making nature documentaries and filming insects was my life goal. This footage makes me warm for it again, thanks

Man vs Bee made me come here. Haha. Hehe.

WOW! Breathtakingly beautiful work! Well done. but why only 8789 views? Seriously?

I have never commented on a RU-vid video despite over a decade of watching videos. I’ve found this to be the purest and most worthy one.

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 film actually made me cry...very emotional. Many thanks

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.

RIP my mafakin red mason bee

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 :)

Anyone else from Man vs Bee on Netflix?

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 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.

We are all here after Man vs. Bee 🐝

Absolutely stunning video on a fantastic subject 😊

After watching Man vs Bee

What a beautifully shot video. The narrator's voice is so soothing too.

This video is going to get a boost within coming days cuz of Man vs Bee. 😂

me sipping coffee, admiring these bees working hard on their nests. *the spiders entered the scene* **NOOOOOOOOOO**

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!

That was a very relaxing documentary, completed by the gentle soothing voice of the narrator

Man vs Bee brought me here 😂

Man vs Bee 😂

You create such good videos the cuts of the cells of the bees are magical

Here because of Man vs Bee 😄

Man vs Bee😂

Breathtaking images. Wonderful video on a fascinating subject. Keep up the good work !

I watched the whole thing so effortlessly. Really engaging, involved, and professionally produced!

4:53 bro couldn’t wait to hit up that fresh bee skizzy

Man VS Bee :))))

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.

4:10 Poor honeybee.. it wasn't trying to 'be' a home invader! * I made a pun :D

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. :-(

Man vs Bee💀💀

It is like a bed time story. Loving it.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on RU-vid.

This video deserves much more credit. Simply amazing!!

this is very emotionally intense for a video about bees

What an absolutely beautiful documentary

This channel deserve way more subscribers! I would like to know if youtube is your only media where the team publishes videos? Or you have a t.v. Channel or something like that and youtube is where you publish the extra content?

Who's here because of the man vs bee???

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 documentary is so well done I want more

Such a beautiful story, music and camera work. I was moved, thank you.🦋❤️🦋

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.

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.

This was INCREDIBLY done, what a beautiful world we have.

wonderful film!! amazing shots, great music, and calm narration. this video is seriously underrated and deserves more recognition!

Aren't they magnificent creatures? Thanks for a super video.

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 RU-vid 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.

What an Amazing short film, wonderful information about our pollinators!

5:50 Bug: WTF Bee: ME TAKE NOW BUG: NAH BRUH COME GET THESE ANTENNAS

So beautiful and moving. Bees really are such hard workers. I have even more respect for them after watching this beautiful film.

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! 🐝

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 RU-vid recommended Me one of video Your video, this deserve a lot more attention.

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 randomly arrived to this video it was great to watch i thoroughly enjoyed it

Dude, your videos are so awesome, unbelievably well produced and informative. Your lack of notoriety is almost criminal.

This was honestly so great . Thank you so much for your hard work

The best solitary bee video on RU-vid! For sure! :)))) So the bee mom knows the sex of her eggs as she lays the male eggs closest to the entrance?

Rowan Atkinson is a legend 👍

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 even feel more enthusiasm to build a nest for the solitary bees soon 🐝 💙 #thankyou

This was so well done and truly deserves much more attention that this. The story telling is just awesome. Thank you guys!

Lol I didn’t want the video to end!! Well done, I fully enjoyed that! Please keep these sort of videos coming!

This is such an incredible film! Thanks for making it and showing it to us. Kudos!

another amazing video from a great team, thank you!

I keep rewatching this. This is beautiful.

Awesome film! Some of the best close-up footage I have seen. Thank you for sharing.

Just amazing! This has just inspired me even further to follow this area of study for my dissertation on urban pollinators! just amazing!

Man vs bee 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Makes you think a lot about life and how much instinct drives a large portion of life on the planet.

Excellent Sound Design

Great job Team Candiru! Loved the film and the subject matter.

This was a beautiful video. I will look at bees with a new found view and appreciation.

Searched it up for Man vs bee..

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.

One of the best i have seen, amazing info and photography

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

He was out there taking care of beesness.....hooking up with the bee-yatches!!

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...

Stunning documentary and lovely voice!

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.

Danke für diesen lehrreichen und schönen Film.

Bees are amazing creatures. Would love to create a bee hotel for solitary bees in the future.
