Eine rostrote Mauerbiene, letztes Jahr im Garten fotografiert.

Ich kann es kaum erwarten, dass es im Garten wieder summt und brummt. Leider wird es wohl noch etwas dauern, bis dahin ein paar Bilder aus dem letzten Jahr.

Bienen sind einfach Freunde. Alle.

Bee hotel

Although most of my "bee hotel" tubes are still full from last year there is already some bee activity around it. I think these are male red mason bees, maybe waiting for females to emerge.

Crazy mad summer-style thunderstorm tonight, 13th March in 🇨🇭. 20C this afternoon, apparently crashing down to 4C by tomorrow. I am sitting with a couple of rather alarmed cats. There is so much energy & heat in the atmosphere. I hope my brave Spring flowers survive, and all the native bees that were buzzing about the garden today. #climatecrisis #RedMasonBee #bees #daffodils
