This tawny mining bee is photographed on morrello cherry blossom in our garden. Interestyingly, within a few feet, there is an ornamental flowering cherry tree which the tawny mining bee totally ignored. Honey bees were on the ornamental cherry blossom in their dozens, but ignored the morrello cherry blossom, which I thought was strange.
The tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva, is a European species of the sand bee (Andrena) genus. The males are 10–12 mm (0.4–0.5 in) and the females 8–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. It is covered with hair: fox-red on its back and black on its underside.
The tawny mining bee lives in Europe, ranging from the Balkans to southern Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. It lives in light woodlands and dry grasslands, and also in parks and gardens. It is widely distributed but has a low population density. The Tawny mining bee flies from March until May. It prefers to fly in a multitude to different nectar-bearing plants, particularly currants and gooseberries. It lives in a nest in the ground, and occasionally in larger colonies.
It mates in spring, after which the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Sometimes more than a hundred females build nests in a few square metres but the tawny mining bee normally does not create a colony: each female has her own nest. The tawny mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary and communal bees.
The nest is a vertical shaft 200–300 mm (8–12 in), with several brood cells branching off it. The female fills these cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, on which she lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge in spring after hibernation.
Did you know mining in British Columbia has been around for over 100 years? It provides excellent jobs and economic benefits for many B.C. families and communities. It's why we're celebrating Mining Week this year between May 8-14.

4. Mining Sculpture – Jake Harvey 1989.
Commemorates the “Spirit of Community”. Born of centuries of abject poverty, suffering, sorrow and deprivation the strong community spirit sustained mining families. Community spirit spurred the villagers to fight to have their condemned village redeveloped as a modern village preserving its identity and its traditions of sharing and caring for one another.

This was hung on the tub/wagon to show which miners had filled which tub .
The miners were paid for the amount of stone mined,hence the need to identify the tubs.

Cornwall - St Agnes.
Mining.
Cornwall, along with its neighbouring county of Devon, was an important source of tin for Europe and the Mediterranean throughout ancient times, but began dominating the market during late Roman times in the 3rd century AD with the exhaustion of many Spanish tin mines. Cornwall maintained its importance as a source of tin throughout medieval times and into the modern period.
At their height about 100 mines employed 1000 miners. Mining came to an end in the 1920s and many of these mines are still on view for tourists. United Hills mine produced 86,500 tons of copper ore, 1826–1906; and Wheal Towan 54,610 tons, 1800-31. Lesser quantities of black tin were produced from these mines: West Wheal Kitty 10,070 tons (1881–1915); Wheal Kitty 9,510 tons (1853–1918); Polberro 4,300 tons (1837–95); Penhalls 3,610 tons (1834–96); and Blue Hills 2,120 tons (1858–97). Much of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a World Heritage Site, is in the parish. Tin production is still worked at the Blue Hills Tin Streams.
Wheal Coates was the site of medieval mining between 1066 and 1540, and it was a modern mining producer from 1802 and into the 20th century. The visible remains of Wheal Coates are the engine houses built in the 1870s to crush ore, run a Calciner, or pump water. The sites, owned by the National Trust, include the Whim Engine House, Towanroath Pumping Engine House and the Calciner. Before that the Jericho valley, where Blue Hills Tin Streams operated, had supported mining operations for centuries. At Chapel Coombe a set of old Cornish stamps has been re-erected by the Trevithick Society.
Looking at a pond in the Te Puna Quarry Park. Because of so much community participation, I never knew what to expect when I turned a corner. The community members personalities shine through in various areas. Here along the pond this is demonstrated by the variety of planting, the frog and ........um.............a penguin.
