I made 4 more in my series of related prints about leafcutter bees, each unique. Similar to the print in the pollinator garden, but the prints in my shop are on lovely Japanese washi paper & feature different plants. These prints are both about, & a sort of collaboration with leaf cutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important …

A little community #sciArt #scicomm - I made a version of my leafcutter bees print with two #linocut wild bees (Megachile relativa and Megachile brevis) and leaf prints for the Coxwell Pollinator Gardens! These prints are both about, and a sort of collaboration with leafcutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important pollinators,

The western honey bee, to the extent that it is kept in hives, … despite media reports to the contrary, is not under threat. A hive of 40,000 bees will deplete floral resources that could otherwise feed 40,000 wild solitary pollinators, many of which are at risk of extinction. (This is not even taking into account the fact that honey bees harvest more nectar and pollen than most other species of bees because of their habit of storing large quantities of food.) So… moderation is important…
However, the efforts of celebrities to "help pollinators" by setting up large numbers of honey bee colonies on their estates, or of many cities to encourage the placement of hundreds of hives on buildings' roofs, while well intentioned, are detrimental to many native pollinators.’

Es sind etliche schlanke Mauerbienen unterwegs, die ein völlig anderes Flugverhalten als die eher gemächlichen "Alteingeborenen" zeigen. Sie sind viel nervöser, machen keine Pausen und ich hab noch keine scharf genug für eine Bestimmung fotographieren können.

Manchmal muss ich nur die Hand in die Luft halten und eine Biene landet, putzt sich kurz, erleichtert sich und geniesst die Fußbodenheizung ...
Mensch soll schliesslich aus #Mauerbienensicht für irgendetwas nützlich sein.

Okay, es war über 13°C und die Männchen werden langsam ungeduldig.
Ich habe heute auch schon zwei weibliche #Bienen gesehen.
Jetzt hoffe ich darauf, dass es nicht mehr zu frostig wird.

09:45 Uhr, kein Wind, aufgelockerte Bewölkung, in der Sonne 14,5°C, die Bienenmännchen drehen durch.

Die bekloppten Männchen verlassen schon langsam ihre Brutröhren. Das nasskalte Wetter wird vielen von ihnen zum Verhängnis werden.
