Busy times at the bee hotel. Here are two male red mason bees (Osmia bicornis) waiting for the sun to come out. Mason bees like to shelter and sleep in the tubes and will come out when the sun is warming the bee hotel. That is why it is best to position the bee hotel so it faces east or south-east, to catch the first rays of sunshine. #bees #spring

Inside the colourful world of animal vision
Want to hear something trippy? Unlike other aspects of an object such as its size or mass, colour is not an inherent property. Perceiving colour is a function of an organismโs sensory system.โฆPalm Oil Detectives

One of my favorite pollinator photos, and the bee isn't even in focus. Which is why I love it. (Bombus sp., Illinois)

I really like goldenrod โ its big plumes and bright colors, and the way it sways gently in the breeze. Beezels on teasels are fun, too. ๐พ๐
Leafcutter bees are back. They don't mind me near the flowers, but they're camera shy. This one was sweet to gift one photo
A few years back I got this photo of a honey bee in flight, returning to her hive.
Had to shoot a few hundred photos just to land this one.
I'm back from a week along Colombia's Caribbean coast! It wasn't a photography trip per se but I did manage a few sessions, and I'll be posting buggy highlights over the next weeks.
Here's a teaser, a little stingless bee pollinating Mexican sunflower:

Deforestation harms biodiversity of the Amazon's perfume-loving orchid bees
A survey of orchid bees in the Brazilian Amazon, carried out in the 1990s, is shedding new light the impact of deforestation on the scent-collecting pollinators, which some view as bellwethers of biodiversity in the neotropics.ScienceDaily
You: You haven't spent your Sunday chasing bees round the garden with your camera then drawing on the photos have you?
Me: What?! That sounds like a foolish way to waste an afternoon!
Also me: Yes, yes I have.
