BellingenNSWThe NSW blueberry industry
"Almost 80 per cent of Australia's blueberries are grown on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, where the industry has grown rapidly.The NSW Environment Protection Authority polices the rules and since 2020 its inspections in berry-growing areas around Coffs Harbour and Nambucca have increased by 180 per cent, finding "occasional transgressions"."
"A recent meeting of the Nambucca Environment Network at Macksville, locals raised concerns about the berry industry's use of chemicals, water, protective plastic tunnels and bird netting. The... laws haven't kept pace with the industry." >>

Da_GutSo the temperature is 42°F today. (5.5 Celsius) that blueberry bush that was swarming with bees two days ago today only has one fat bumblebee pollinating it.

Take a look at this bitch!
Do you see what she is doing to this blueberry? She is stealing nectar without doing any pollination. She is too big for the bloom so look at where that tongue is piercing. It’s at the base of the flower. Notice there is no pollen on her.
She has a pollen thief!
A naturalist insists this is a blueberry digger bee. But I am almost positive that is wrong. She is easily 4 to 5 times larger than water, most likely blueberry digger bees.
