This composite shows mining bees emerging from a domestic lawn in Crowborough . Mining bees usually nest in the ground and at first the entrances to their burrows can look like worm casts. On closer inspection the burrows can be seen to be marked by little mounds of earth. They are good pollinators and harmless.
They are much smaller than honey bees and their burrows can be 60 cm deep. A clump of pollen is accumulated in the burrow and the female will then lay her egg on the clump. The bees hibernate over winter in the burrows and emerge in spring as these ones in my daughter's garden have. There are around 100 different species in the UK but I'm not clever enough to identify which these particular bees are.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.

The Earth Mining Commission had finally taken control of the element harvesting project on Mars after the Estonians had given up their interest in the venture. We worked diligently for months, rebuilding the facilities and converting the ergonomics for human usage. After the retrofit was completed, we continued work on a massive vein of Plegaltonium, a mineral native to Mars, and began our project.
Work proceeded well into the New Year, and only a few minor setbacks occurred. It was to be expected; the risks were written into their contracts, that some miners would perish during the operations. We also prepared for the inevitable psychological stressors that would present in the wives and children living on the colony. Some of them had never before left their home state, let alone the planet Earth.
Something has changed during the past three weeks however. At first the miners were coming back from their operations, complaining of relentless fatigue, nausea, even momentary loss of vision. Two harvesters collided last week when one of the drivers became blinded. Then the discoloration quickly set in, their skin turning a foul rust color, brittle and flaking off. We’ve lost ten miners this week alone, all with the same symptoms.
It now seems to be spreading inside the facilities, even with the constant use of the decontamination rooms. Lieutenant Brownstone’s wife just lost her vision yesterday and collapsed to the floor, dead within an hour or so. Her body was placed in a quarantine chamber and still awaits autopsy. The speed at which this is now spreading, whatever it is, seems to be on an exponential curve.
After appealing to the Mining Commission today, they still won’t stop operations at this time. I fear, at this point it wouldn’t matter, as we seem to be.
A small group of tiny male Slender Mining bees (Lasioglossum calceatum) settle down these lavender seed heads each evening, spend the night, and leave each morning to continue their search for pollen.
These small, ground nesting solitary bees usually nest in steep banks, and are found throughout most of Britain and Ireland. They visit a wide variety of flowers, and are usually seen from April to October.

Nevadaville, Colorado - an up close view of the structure of previous photo and I always thought that space under it at ground level was more that just the level the structure. With a population of bout 4000.
Nevadaville started in 1859, soon after John H. Gregory found the first lode gold in what is now Colorado. At the time, the townsite was in western Kansas Territory. The town grew to house the miners working the Burroughs lode and the Kansas lode. The population was predominantly Irish.[1]

Tthe Man Engine,is a 12 metre high steam-powered giant who is striding the length of the Cornish Mining Landscape in the next few weeks. Today it has appeared in my home town.
Designed and constructed to mark the tenth anniversary of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape being added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites,
A few photos from recent trips into Cornish mines. I go with a group of mine explorers that are experienced and know these mines well.

Taken in Cripple Creep, Colorado.
By 1900 there were over 500 mines operating in the Cripple Creek district. The great wealth coming out of the mines turned Cripple Creek into a bustling and prosperous city of over 35,000 people. 75 Saloons and numerous brothels parted miners from their pay. A stock market was created to match remote investors with local mining interests. Cripple Creek was also the site of some of the worst labor conflicts in American history, culminating in the state militia being called in to break strike in 1903.
The city population was 1,189 at the 2010 United States Census.
In 1882 Gilmer & Salisbury concentrated on the dominant structure in Bayhorse, the mill. It mimicked natures gravitational pull to move rocks through the mill and down the hillside thru a water wash. The wooden mill buildings wer painted with red mineral paint to help preserve and act as fire retardant.
British Rail, Class 56, locomotive, No.56078, of Tinsley M.P.D., (Shed Code TI), and built by British Rail Engineering Limited, Locomotive Works, Doncaster, in 1980, is seen here, at Kiveton Park Colliery, on 05/05/1981. A potted history of the locomotive is recorded below.
Built at British Rail Engineering Limited, Locomotive Works, Doncaster, and delivered, new to British Rail, Tinsley M.P.D., (Shed Code TI), on 25/05/1980, as British Rail No.56078. The locomotive was withdrawn from service, as being surplus to requirements, by English, Welsh and Scottish Railway Limited, from their Knottingley T.M.D., on 01/012004, and it was placed into storage there. Following a recall back into service, and following preparation, at Toton T.M.D., the locomotive was transferred, to France, on 09/09/2004, on hire to Fertis Rail, a subsidiary of the French railway operator, Voies Ferrées Locales et Industrielles (VFLI), for use in the construction of high speed rail lines. The locomotive was transferred back to the United Kingdom, on 05/05/2007, where, upon arrival, it was returned back into storage, most probably, at Crewe T.M.D. The locomotive was sold to East Midlands Railway, (Abellio East Midlands Limited), in December 2011, and it was transferred, from Crewe T.M.D., to Kingsbury scrap yard, on 20/04/2012. The locomotive is recorded as being registered to Colas Rail UK Limited, at the end of July 2012, and it was moved to Washwood Heath T.M.D., Birmingham, on 15/08/2012, and from there, to Rugby T.M.D., on 04/09/2012, where it was put into storage, until transferred, back to Washwood Heath T.M.D., Birmingham, on 27/10/2012. Following a series of test runs, by Colas Rail UK Limited, which were first initiated in December 2013, the locomotive was returned back into service, on 06/01/2014.

This is a parasitised Andrena Mining Bee that's been attacked by Stylops, one of the Strepsiptera or twisted-wing flies. I think the bee is probably Andrena scotica (the Chocolate Mining Bee) but the effect of being stylopised gives the bee an odd inter-sex appearance.
The mature female form of the parasitic fly can be seen protruding out between the abdominal segments. The females look more like a flattened larva and have no eyes, legs, wings or antennae. They do not leave the bee.
NB: The Strepsiptera are not true flies!

Greetigs for trip to Mazzy, Mario, Adi!
This male mining-bee was on a dandelion by the hedgerow that runs by our front garden in Staffordshire. It's not a species that I regularly see in the garden, but I think it might be the Sandpit Mining Bee (Andrena barbilabris). There's a nesting aggregation on a sandy footpath locally. I seem to remember photographing one in the garden in 2015.
This is my 14th garden bee species of 2016!
This view of the Residential District in Red Lodge Montana is from the natural bench (terrace) on the west side of town. Many of the homes belonged to early residents involved in Coal Mining. Most of the miners homes date between 1905 and 1915. Early prospectors came to the Rock Creek Valley looking for gold but found coal instead. By 1907 there were 2 competing coal companies in Red Lodge, one on the East side of town and one on the west side. At the peak of production in 1916, the mines employed over 1600 miners and supported a town of more than 5,000 people. With rising labor costs and the advent of cheaper strip mining operations elsewhere in the US, the underground coal mines in the area started to close. By 1932, both of Red Lodge's mines were closed. Red Lodge made an ecomonic transition from mining town to tourist town and one of the gateways to Yellowstone National Park.
