They’re all the same kind of bee, probably just found a real nice spot for bee stuff and they don’t want to share with each other

People saying there’s a yellow jacket in there are wrong. u/Strong-Anteater-2862 is correct, these look like squash bees. They are solitary bees that typically burrow their nest underground. You might find burrow holes near this plant.
Yellow jackets do not have that furry coating on their upper abdomen area.
This should be marked NSFW. Stop being such a voyeur!

I think they’re just being silly goofs.

Whatever they’re doing, your squash is getting SUPER pollinated.

The first rule of bee orgy is we don’t talk about bee orgy.

Certainly looks like they don’t like each other.

They’re making love, not war.

Imagine trying to enjoy yourself and your fun little flower bee-some in private and some giant starts staring at you and then shares it with other giants calling it goofy. 😤
That is wild though I had no idea bees did that lol

I saw a ton of these in my squash flowers this morning, just hanging out. One flower had 5 of them in there just sitting and waiting.

They are just drunk and fighting, too bad they didn’t land on the other kind of flower. They would’ve just excepted each other.

Some types of bees will mate in flowers and yeah, some types do have turf wars.

I dont see how anyone here is seeing anything but 4 insects of the same species, with one tiny onlooker lol. Those 4 “fighting” are all the same.

Full blown bee brawl 😂
I’m not saying this is exactly what’s happening here, but:
