Do bumble bees live long enough to have a birthday?
Queens might. Worker (female) and male bumble bees only live for a few weeks, but queen bumble bees live for about a year.

Depending on the species, wild bees make their nest in hollow stems, in pre-existing cavities like old rodent nests or hollow tree trunks, in wood, or in tunnels in the soil. They might even nest in objects left in your yard!
(Managed honey bees nest in human-made wooden hives.)

Sweat bees are quite common here in Canada, and they are known to lick the sweat (salt) from people's skin. If this happens to you, feel lucky that you fed a sweat bee! Here is a sweat bee on a mint plant in our backyard.
