1. Why Bees Land on Laundry
Finding a bee on sun-dried clothes is common.
Hanging laundry outside naturally draws insects, especially bees.
2. Scents That Attract Them
Many detergents and softeners use floral or sweet fragrances that resemble nectar.
Even “unscented” products can leave a mild smell that curious bees mistake for a food source.
3. Colors They Notice
Bees are drawn to white, yellow, blue, and other bright shades.
Sunlight reflecting off these colors can look like flower petals,
making clothing visually appealing to them.
4. Easy Ways to Avoid Visits
Bees rarely sting unless trapped.
To reduce visits, use unscented products,
dry clothes in partial shade, or shake garments before bringing them inside.
These small steps help keep the peace between your laundry and nature.
