Good afternoon.
Pause.
Spend a moment with a shower soaked wee mining bee.
You’ll be better for it.
Quick fact: Of the 20,000 or so bee species on the #planet over 90% are #solitarybees.

Not to be outdone by the bumbles showing up yesterday this little guy put in an appearance today. Hanging around in the cold and rain waiting for the girls to show up he seemed happy for the warmth of human skin for a while.

#TIL Some #Andrena #bee species can be multivoltine: two generations in a single year, with peak activity in different seasons, e.g.: Spring + Summer. I've only thought of them as spring-flying, though I have some June observations from my garden.
