May has been a busy month, dominated by bees. I am thankful for the relief from the spring drought at the end of the month.
Plunging into solitary bees.
A new species(?) for VC55.
Another tip for insect photography.
One day all field guides will be this good. A real gem of a book and at a bargain price. You'd be daft not to buy it.
Unsurprisingly, the solitary bees I have been working with recently have often been covered in pollen (they have a lot to cram into their short adult lives).
Working out where the bees have been.
I'm troubled by the ongoing demise of traditional wildlife groups, the sort that (used to) meet in a village hall once a month. I observe them gradually blinking out, one by one.
