Fabindia or other Bee Followers
Fabindia or other Bee FollowersThis youngster crawled out of the Bug House this evening.
Maybe too young to tell, could it be a Leafcutter or a Honey Bee just finding it's feet by chance on the Bug House ? [center][/center] Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersI showed this pic to my friend who's a bit of a wildlife geek, this is what he thinks it
is - osmia bicolor, Red Mason bee, solitary bee, nests in small holes in walls etc. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."
--Immanuel Kant
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersAh., thank you kitla.
Looking at Leafcutters they seem more profound lines. I wasn't sure as it's obviously very young and it was on the roof of the bug house. Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersAn interesting picture. Doesn't look like a honey bee to me.
One thing's for sure bees are an immensely interesting and diverse species. Michael
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersA bee is not just a bee and not in the category of 'they all look the same to me'
We've those giant Hornets around at present, keep out of their way, especially if they've flown over from France !! Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersIf you see an Asian hornet then according to the national bee unit, this should be reported to the Great British Non Native Secretariat.
They are potential a very serious threat to British bee keeping. Let me know if you want the email address. Michael
Re: Fabindia or other Bee FollowersMy bug house is in a rather secluded bit of the garden and I tend not to look at it much. All that will now change in the hope that I will one day see a bee as beautiful as yours Richard!
