I'm not sure which species of mining bee this is so any help with ID would be appreciated. I did wonder if it was Andrena flavipes (Yellow-legged Mining Bee).
Another record shot of a bee from yesterday. This one landed beside some holes in the soil of the footpath running along the River Ayr at Failford.
Any help with ID much appreciated...the bee in this shot, and those in the next two uploads were all in the same spot.
Many thanks to Rory Dimond for the ID of Lasioglossum species for this one---I'm fairly sure the other two I found in the same area are different.
First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
Bottom's Up! This reed bee (Exoneura sp.) was tucking into our Native Geraniums to get at the food stuff within. Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone!
This is up a bit north of Golden on the Peak to Peak road in late fall - I've found it fascinating n I bet just up the hill is more of it but the area has a keep out sign - sooo - besides after year's of being stagnate tree's have sprouted up.
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva) showing well in my garden. The females are particularly eye-catching with their foxy red hair and black undersides. These mining bees will nest in the lawn and patches of bare ground!

Abundancia, a small arid planet, and the richest colony of the G.M.F. in terms of ores.
The Locusts can collect the crystals directly from the ground, then the miners can fill the Mammoths with this shiny loot.
We went out looking for the deserted Gascoigne Wood mining plant. Hoping to find dilapidated buildings, we found nothing but security cameras and dead ends. But we did encounter a very pleasant sunset.
If anyone knows of any abandoned buildings in the north of England (that can be accessed easily) let me know.

The end of the year is a perfect time to look back, to remember, to mine one's memory to then face the new year...

Perth is a mining town. Mining is a major source of revenue for Western Australia and hence the state is relatively wealthy and has the highest median household income of any Australian capital city. The picture shows the precinct at the ground floor for one of the major mining companies. This is repeated throughout the city with some lovely grounds

The town of Gold Hill, NC was once known for being in the middle of Carolina gold territory. Today it still is known for gold and other mining operations, and hosts NS P92 every week day to serve the mine along with other industries.
Thanks to the flatbed truck's driver for allowing me to gain some height for this photograph!
A wall mural in the old part of Ipoh, Malaysia showing tin mining activities in the Kinta Valley with a background of the famous karst or limestone hills. A mining dredge can be seen amongst other mining methods. This is one of seven wall murals in Ipoh painted by the Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic who became famous in Malaysia after his many works in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Penang.
Maybe a Yellow Legged - but not easy to tell when it's covered in pollen! RSPB Minsmere Digger Alley
On display at the Babbitt Mining Display, this former wooden Reserve Mining caboose sits next to the parking area. This caboose has an interesting history starting its life on the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range in 1944 and operated on the railroad until the 1970s. The caboose was retired by the DMIR proceeded by a purchase by the Reserve Mining Company where it became a safety car and outfitted to host safety meetings to railroad employees. Northshore Mining donated the car to the City of Babbitt in 1995.
Went to Denge Wood in Kent, there were lots of Mining bees flying low to the ground, lots of holes too but didn't see any Bees go in or out of them
Hemingfield or Elsecar Low Colliery was sunk circa 1842-3 for Earl Fitzwilliam to work the Barnsley Bed Coal Seam at a depth of about 117 yards. By 1846 production had reached some 1000 tons per day.
After the mine finally closed for winding coal in 1920 one of the shafts continued to be used as a water pumping station. Since then the original headgears have been replaced by concrete structures. This is the headgear on the upcast shaft.
Loads of bee activity in our Stafforshire garden today, with dozens of these male Andrena mining-bee emerging and swarming about. I think it's Andrena nigroaenea; the Buffish Mining-bee.

From the road I spotted this which looked like it was from the same mining structure - some sort of metal and wood - this was no way I could had gotten closer - rats.
Erie Mining 104 with the Taconite Trail stopped on the Manitou River Bridge on an early inspection trip of the mainline. Probably sometime in 1957.
The Quincy Mine is an extensive set of copper mines located near Hancock, Michigan. The mine was owned by the Quincy Mining Company and operated between 1846 and 1945, although some activities continued through the 1970s. The Quincy Mine was known as "Old Reliable," as the Quincy Mine Company paid a dividend to investors every year from 1868 through 1920
