Bees

[elsiek]

what is a bee about the size of a honey bee but with a bright red body?

Have a look at this elsiek, particularly the Tawny Bee or the Red Mason Bee.

Isn't the tawny mining bee a pretty little thing?? I've never seen one, but thanks for the link Cetti. I'm now going to read up on this.

They are pretty little things, but I didn't realise there were just so many species in the British Isles.... looks like it's swot time for all of us!
