Bumblebees frequently investigate birdhouses with active bird nests. While bumblebees can take over a bird nest for use as their own nest, the birds at The Retreat have won the day so far.
In this video, two different bumblebee invasions of a Titmouse nest are shown. The first invasion was of a nest under construction (no eggs or young). The female Titmouse exited immediately upon encountering the bee. In the second invasion, it was a very different story. The Titmouse nest was full of eggs. When the female Titmouse returned to the nest, she clearly heard the bee. Instead of fleeing, she went on a mission to hunt down the intruder.
