I've been watching the Girdled Mining bees carefully over the last few days. On Saturday the males were lying in wait near to the Star of Bethlehem flowers and pouncing on any females that happened to stop for to feed.
A bit of a confusing photo but the female has the pollen sacs and the male has a distinctive white face.

The rows of terraces, albeit not the red brick of Yorkshire or the North East, hark back to mining days. The Somerset coalfield was based on Radstock and in nearby Westfield, First Bath Streetlite 47547 SN14FFX makes its way
Bodie California State Historic Park in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains is an old mining ghost-town that is now maintained in a state of "arrested decay".
These bees were making holes in the grass banks in the churchyard at Holy Trinity Church, Rayleigh, Essex.
The problems occurring with strip mining can be far worse than anyone could expect. Every year many miners lose there lives due to accidents from lack of safety. Mining should take on more serious training for equipment operators. There should be more strict guidelines. When the units leave a specific area, the company operators should immediately start the reclamation process. Coal operators should have to replant three trees for every one cut down. I’m not certain of the regulations on reclamations, but I am sure they’re not being followed thoroughly. Agencies like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the Department of Mines and Minerals make it harder for coal operators to just walk away form a job without doing the refurnishing process. They make sure that the land will restored to be as beautiful as it once was. If more and more companies would follow the rules when it comes to reclaiming the land, the amount of problems that occur from it could possibly decrease. Personally, I think it is at least worth the try.

The Holly Leaf Miner is a small fly with larvae that cause discoloured blotches by feeding inside holly leaves. Grubs of the holly leaf miner tunnel inside the leaves. There is one generation a year, and the adult flies lay eggs on the new foliage in May to June. When the larvae have completed their feeding in the following spring, they pupate inside the leaf mines.
There is plenty of evidence of their mining work at Warley Place Nature Reserve!
These were the cars that were used to transport the ore out of the mines. Since mining was never profitable here, these cars have been sitting here for decades.
Jawbone Flats was established as a mining camp in the 1920s. It gets its name from the fact that while the miners were out in the mines during the day, their wives would gossip, or "jawbone", during their daily activities in town. The mining camp was shut down in the 1940s when the mining proved to be less than profitable. Shiny Rock Mining Company operated out of Jawbone Flats from 1972 to 1992.
Thanks to Senator Mark Hatfield, this area became protected as the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area in 1996, along with the Opal Creek Wilderness, which lies adjacent. Since this area includes old growth trees, Jawbone Flats is home to the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, and educational groups and individuals can come to study and learn about this ancient forest. No private vehicles are allowed here; you have to hike in 3.5 miles. In addition, the old buildings, artifacts, and equipment here are protected by federal law.
Pearce, Arizona is a mining ghost town named for Cornishman James Pearce, miner and cattleman, who discovered gold nearby at what became the Commonwealth Mine in 1894. The Pearce Post Office was established on March 6, 1896. The railroad station opened in 1903. By 1919, Pearce had a population of 1,500. The town declined in the 1930s, and became almost a ghost in the late 1940s, when the mine closed for the last time.
The Commonwealth Mine became one of Arizona's major silver producers. Over 1,000,000 tons of ore were produced from 1895 to 1942. There are about 20 miles of underground workings. The mine produced about $8 million worth of silver and $2.5 million in gold at a time when silver was priced around 50 cents an ounce, and gold was $20 an ounce.

Risca Colliery's two shafts were sunk in 1875 with coal production starting in 1878. On 15 July 1880 an explosion killed 120 men and boys due to the miners preferring to use older "Clanny" lamps to the new Davy safety lamps. Clanny lamps were subsequently banned in mines. An explosion in 1860 at the nearby Black Vein Colliery had already claimed the lives of 146 men and boys. The colliery closed in 1967 and is now the site of an industrial estate.
The chapel was built in 1858 to provide English language services for the influx of "foreign" workers to the expanding industries. It was enlarged in 1875.
