Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 & Ed Phillips you were of course correct! Thank you!
I've had #leafcutterbees every year, so I'm used to their nest cell building, but I was observing her for over an hour & was confused because I saw no leaves, the white must have been a lot of white pollen!

Don’t be so nosey!!! Right I’ll draw the blind 🐝🐝😊🌱 alison benjamin Urban Bees Steven Falk Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 Brigit Strawbridge Emily Doorish Carl #leafcutterbees #solitarybees

Thanks to @frostatwork I now know what's been nibbling my Rose leaves & I don't mind one bit 🐝 #leafcutterbees #GardenersWorld

Can anyone #identify this #solitarybee please? Watched her this afternoon & she's not carrying mud/leaves like our #masonbees & #leafcutterbees but seems to have white material on her abdomen possibly #pollen or maybe a #woolcarderbee ?

Day 2 of #30dayswild with The Wildlife Trusts Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 #LeafCutterBees were on my Rosa Rugosa - it never flowers but this is the best reason to keep it. They flew past the Madame Alfred Carriere and Scarborough Lass roses to get to this one so they must love those leaves!

No nesting #LeafCutterBees at the #Allotment this year but it's good to know they've been about. This on field rose / Rosa arvensis.

This is a close up of the cute little teddy bee 🐝 💖 so fluffy and cute 😍

⁦Brigit Strawbridge⁩ and ⁦Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈⁩ YAY, first definite sign of #leafcutterbees . Don’t usually go for the wisteria, usually roses and potentilla.

Ending fossil-based growth

This is how #LeafcutterBees prepare their cocoons! They wrap the little ones in leaves between a cozy mud wall inside a hole. Next year, the young come out! They, like most native bees, are gentle with no stinger and are solitary. One pollinates more than a whole #honeybee hive.

At last...and pink is obviously this year’s colour for my #leafcutterbees . Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈

@karllittlelegs Dominic Knower Nurturing Nature I took my year 8 class over this afternoon & we spied them too. The students were fascinated by what #leafcutterbees do 👍🏻💚🐝 Have a look CaldiesScience RSPB Learning

Every time I walk past this rose I have to laugh. Talk about taking flipping liberties! 😀 #leafcutterbees 🐝

Checked out the bee hotel yesterday (17/08/22) to find the last of the Leafcutter bees had departed for the year.
A couple of picture taken Saturday of the last Leafy. 🐝😕

Meet Nico Boutiette, who works with our Earth Center! Nico has just placed a box of native leafcutter bee eggs to hatch with the warm weather. Leafcutter bees are important local pollinators that help plants and flowers reproduce! 🐝💚 #RollingRidgeMA #LeafcutterBees #Pollinators
