Andrena (Melandrena) transnigra Viereck, 1904
This is a mining bee (Family Andrenidae) we observed on the shore of Whistle Lake. There was an aggreagation of individual burrows and the bees were busy going in and out. This particular species, Andrena (Melandrena) transnigra, occurs in western United States and Canada and was identified for me at BugGuide by John S. Ascher (American Museum of Natural History Bee Database Project).
Characteristics of the mining bees (Andrenidae) are: Small size, 20 mm, (or smaller) brown to black in color, and nesting in a burrow in areas of sparse vegetation, old meadows, dry road beds, sandy paths. Although the nests are built near one another, the bees are solitary (each female capable of constructing a nest and reproducing). Many species are active in March and April when they collect pollen and nectar from early spring blooming flowers. The female bee digs a hole 2-3 inches deep excavating the soil and leaving a pile on the surface. She then digs a side tunnel that ends in a chamber (there are about 8 chambers per burrow). Each chamber is then filled with a small ball of pollen and nectar. An egg is laid on the top of each pollen ball and the female seals each brood chamber. The emerging larval bees feed on the pollen/nectar ball until they pupate (BugGuide)
Worldwide there are approximately 3000 species of mining bee (Family Andrenidae).

Mountain top removal is the final step in ever-more aggressive mining practices. From deep mining the industry went to strip mining. Now the whole mountain is removed.

This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the "Koski" Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group. The hike starts at the Tubal Cain trailhead then veers off onto the Tull Canyon trail going to its end and eventually going off trail at its end climbing up to the col or saddle between Hawk Peak and Mount Worthington. Once on the ridge or col, travel northeast on the ridge until you reach the top of Hawk Peak. After summiting Hawk Peak. Make your way down towards Silver Lake which is visible from the ridge onto a faint boot path which is also visible from the ridge and through a large scree field until you reach the lake. Once you are at the lake, head on to the Silver Lake trail and follow it up the ridge between Welch Peak and Mount Townsend. For a quick summit bear right or south for an easy scramble to the top of Welch Peak. After Welch, head back down the ridge to regain the Silver Lake Trail and continue until you reach the Mount Townsend Trail. Take a left or west, going uphill towards Mount Townsend following trail until you get to summit. From summit going north, trail becomes the Little Quilcen Trail Continue downhill to a junction veering left and staying on ridge. This trail is also known as the Dirty Face Ridge Trail. Follow steep downhill trail until you reach the trailhead at road. A short walk downhill returns you to the start of the the hike.
Total Miles for trip, 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. Elevation - Just over a mile at around 5400 feet.
Things to see along the way.

One for the brick enthusiasts!
Demolition of Lyme Pit's headgears and associated winding houses, weigh-bridges, stores, offices, canteen and washing facilities, plus the 180ft-high circular chimney stack, was undertaken by North East Demolition Ltd over a 15-month period commencing 10 July 1966. A colour photograph of the scene on 6 May 1967 is included in Dennis Sweeney's “St Helens & Wigan Junction Railway” (Triangle, 2014).
A brick works had been established nearby when sinking of the Lyme Pits began in the 1870s. Clearly, though, these bricks are not of local manufacture. A note on the Rock Brick Co at Buckley accompanies this photograph.
The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.
I allowed myself a little fun when processing these photos!
Sand Mining---Sand mining activities, a tradition spanning many decades, in Tugumukti village, Cisarua, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 7 September 2011. The hills of Cisarua hold great potential as their sand is of very high quality, so much so that illegal mining activity is threatening the destruction of the ecosystems of the hills. Seeing as it is their only means of income, something must be done to prevent any further illegal poaching from occuring.

Tablet showing the mining camps in the Pittsburg-Weir Coal Field Miners Memorial in Pittsburg Kansas. The Miners Memorial celebrates and preserves the rich mining and immigrant history of the deep shaft and strip miners, including auxiliary workers, in the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. Each of the names carved on the tablets worked the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. The area would be home to over a hundred camps but only a few became towns and cities.
