Currently not a fan of foxes, they pulled out a bundle of wheat straws and ate all the pollen and grub from the resin bees last night π’ put extra protection now that should keep them out. Extra video of some resin bee love making included #solitarybees #resinbees #londonwildlife
This female has finished her first tube. It is a series of cells created with mud dividers to seal each of them. In each is an egg and a mix of nectar & pollen to feed it once hatched. #SolitaryBees
One of the best ways you can help #SolitaryBees in your garden is to grow lots of open, pollen-rich flowers that they can forage from to stock their nests, like the Common Fleabane these Large-headed Resin Bees are enjoying today. #SolitaryBeeHour π»πΌπ
This hideous hanging basket, devoid of plant life, is in the garden because for the lst 3yrs it's been home to leaf cutter bees! At least 6 nests this yr. I think they're Willughby's Leaf Cutters.

Meet Reet Karise from EMU, our #WildPoshFavourites pick of the week! Her favourite pollinator species is the Eucera Longicornis, one of the UK's largest #SolitaryBees . π
The extraordinarily long antennae of male species make them easily distinguishable from any other bees. π
I checked the local Andrena clarkella nest site today and spotted two males. Somewhat lethargic, the weather being a little on the cool side and the sun having gone in. They were happy to climb on to make use of the warmth of my hand. #solitarybees #bugsmatter
