Not a honey bee (Apis mellifera) but an Australian native bee, Trichocolletes sp. on flowering Bossiaea scolopendria. #nativebee #wildoz #australianbees

My garden is being visited by the aptly named, Amegilla bombiformis, aka teddy bear bee. On the left is a female and on the right, a male.

Coelioxys! Or the leaf-cutting cuckoo bees. These bees are very triangled. #entomology #bees #australianbees

Another native bee during teaching this week. This one is a masked bee (Hylaeus sp.) They (usually) have facial markings, typically in bright yellow - hence the name. #hylaeus #wildoz #nativebee #entomology #australianbees

The trickiest bees I've photographed so far! The cuckoo bees (Thyreus), with the chequered cuckoo bee (Thyreus caeruleopunctatus) on the left and the neons cuckoo bee (Thyreus nitidulus).

Female round-headed masked bee (Hylaeus rotundiceps) pollinating lillypillys today. Named for their mask-like facial markings.

This male Lipotriches australica was bubbling! A process in which the bee will bubble nectar in order to evaporate the water and condense the nectar!

Megachile (Eutricharaea) sp. or the leaf cutter bee. This female was covered in pollen, they store the pollen on the long scopal hairs under their abdomen.

Bees are important to crops with nearly two-thirds of Australian agriculture production benefitting from pollination.
Without bees, food security is at risk.
We need bees.

These bees have nowhere to hide from extreme heat
A major study of Australian native bees found that stem-nesting species may be the first to feel the impact of climate change. Unlike bees that nest underground, they have few ways to escape…

On a walk yesterday, I found some beautiful Royal Bluebell flowers and a native bee busy at work.
Can anyone identify what species of bee this is?

#Canberra #AustralianBees #bees
Closeup of Royal Bluebell flowers, with one flower in focus. Each flower has five petals that end in pointed tips. The petals are dark and light purple, connected to a pale yellow centre of the flower. Closeup of Royal Bluebell flowers, with one flower in focus. The flowers are purple, with a light yellow centre. On the flower in focus is a small Australian bee. The bee has a pattern of black and dark grey across its body. Its head is buried in the flower collecting nectar. One shiny black eye is visible.

Gardens provide a limitless source of inspiration and watching the bees enter and leave their beehive is something I take for granted, so thought I’d share a snippet of their very busy day with you.
