Orange Sweater, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5277
While walking through the pine forest in the Paradiset nature reserve I spotted this bilberry mining bee (Andrena lapponica) with lots of fluffy hair on the side of a pine tree.
A lot of people are actually unaware of what bilberries are so I thought I might shed some light on that subject.
Bilberries are the dark blue berries which a lot of people in Europe seem to call blueberries. Blueberries, however, are native to North America and - like so much in North America - significantly larger. Having tasted both, I can say that the billberry has significantly more taste though.
