Voiceless. Andrena sp., Mining Bee, on Hedge Mustard, Sisymbrium officinale, Sloterdijk, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Tiny Sisymbrium officinale down through the ages has been hailed as a plant which, made into a syrup, heals hoarseness and other voice problems. In French one of its names is 'Herbe aux chantres', and Jacques Daléchamps (1513-1588) recommends it especially to choir boys. Our Bee, though, is voiceless but gathers from Hedge Mustard nutritious pollens.
