Another photo from the meadow, when we had such a lovely summer. Hours of fun spent crawling around on hands and knees, capturing bees going about their business!

I can't believe how I still have flowers on my butterfly bushes after the morning frosts we've had. There are still a few bees hanging around. They move slow because of the cold, so it's a perfect opportunity to practice my macro shots.

Have a wonderful day Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo

I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism and tips on how to improve my novice photography skills are always welcomed.

The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)

Spotted today. I am waiting for the correct ID for this bee.

Now identified - I have included below the ID information I have just received.

This is a recently introduced exotic African carder bee, Pseudoanthidium repetitum. It differs from the native Megachile bees in that the white bands across the abdomen are coloured cuticle rather than coloured hair as found in native bees. The common name carder comes from the way females construct a brood cell. Some native Megachile bees use cut leaves to build a cell while others gather plant resin. This bee scrapes or carders plant fibres from the leaves of a few plant families and makes a cotton wool like brood cell. First found in Australia in 2000 in Brisbane and was recorded in Perth in 2020. These bees often nest in human made boxes (especially fuse boxes) so get transported easily by us. An interesting bee to have in your garden.

Bee. Photographed in Maryland.

Osmias are so-called solitary bees belonging to the Megachile family, because unlike honey bees, they do not live in a swarm with a queen, who ensures their reproduction. In the case of solitary bees, each female ensures her own offspring. And to do this, she digs a burrow, which she will line with pieces of petals or leaves that she will cut in the surrounding vegetation, hence their nickname of flower cutters.

Les Osmias sont des abeilles dites solitaires appartenant à la famille Mégachile, car contrairement aux abeilles mellifères, elles ne vivent pas en essaim avec une reine, qui en assure la reproduction. Dans le cas des abeilles solitaires, chaque femelle assure sa propre descendance. Et pour ce faire, elle creuse un terrier, qu’elle tapissera avec des morceaux de pétales ou de feuille qu’elle ira découper dans la végétation environnante, d’où leur surnom de découpeuses de fleurs.
