Another ngaro huruhuru (NZ native bee) seen in my garden 😊

I have a few patches of lawn that I’ve let grow really long, and these little yellow flowers* are a favourite of these tiny bees.

I also have planted wildflower pollinator blends, but I only ever see bumble bees and honey bees in those. In my garden these native bees seem to prefer a patch of lawn gone wild.

* similar but smaller than a dandelion flower, might be hawksbeard or catsear
