Ivy Bees, Colletes hederae, on Ivy flowers at West Acre, Norfolk last week.
The hedges were alive with bees & the heady scent of Ivy as we cycled in West Norfolk last week.
Ten years ago the bees were a novelty as we cycled around North Norfolk discovering new colonies.

19 de octubre y observando polinizadores en camiseta. De abejas silvestres solo Colletes, algunas Megachile, Bombus y Xylocopa. Mucho más movimiento de sírfidos, aunque hoy no he visto Volucella.

Colletes cunicularius are now emerging at the UPV/EHU arboretum. It’s nice to have such a massive aggregation close to the office.. 😅

Een van mijn favorieten. Het borststuk van deze mannelijke klimopzijdebij (Colletes hederae) zit vol eerstestadiumlarven (triungulinen) van de parasitaire oliekever Stenoria analis. Zij hopen tijdens een paring over te stappen op een vrouwelijke bij voor een lift naar haar nest. #ElkeDagEenInsect

Oude foto's voorlopig, want met een gebroken schouder is het best lastig een camera te hanteren. Vandaag een aaibaar instapinsect: de grote zijdebij (Colletes cunicularius). #ElkeDagEenInsect

Some cheer to brighten up a winter's day. Colletes daviesanus on Tansy (first Scottish record as far as I can make out😊) at Dumbreck Marsh LNR on 02/08/2025. Look at those pollen baskets! With @edinburghnats.bsky.social #Colletes #bees
