FIRE TAILED RESIN BEE AUSTRALIA

in nature •  7 years ago 

Afternoon steemers,
Found some old somewhat over-edited yet still cool photos of a Fire Tailed Resin Bee Chalicodoma mystaceana. These bees are solitary and build nests from resin (hence the name.)

On the "Sacred Basil" again, if you like Bees this is a must have addition to your garden.

Happy insecting,
Sam
