A red bee, Rhodanthidium sticticum – a megachilid – resting on a pebble: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/155170123
A male and female were tumbling about, putting out quite the mating show. See this cluster of 4 observations https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=41.235501969870946&nelng=1.4741093236519154&on=2023-04-16&place_id=any&subview=map&swlat=40.950367608936276&swlng=1.1081272679878529&taxon_id=467410&user_id=albertcardona&verifiable=any

Nun ist auch in Dibbesdorf die Balkon-Wildbienensaison eröffnet. Bei 12°C, Nieselregen und Starkwind wagte sich dieses #Osmia cornuta Männchen ins freie. Die Gehörnte #Mauerbiene ist neben "der" Holzbiene vermutlich die bekannteste heimische #Wildbiene.

Megachile leachella in Ononis spinosa from Tisvilde, Sjælland, Denmark.
Just adore this wee bee!
Notice the yellow pollen on the scopa, showing that it has collected pollen from another flower, than the Ononis spinosa it's visiting 🐝

A few years ago, I never saw any species of Coelioxys; the last few years, they have become common. #bees #Megachilidae
