Baldur BjarnasonI don't know enough about insects to recognise these critters but if these are honeybees then the local bee farmer here in Hveragerði is having a good year. Saw a bunch of these on my last walk. #bees #photos #honeybee #iceland
Alex von Kitchen@baldur they do look like a bee of some sort. The antenna looks like a bee's, and I can't see the halteres that flys have
FeralRobots@Dangerous_beans @baldur
Yeah, definitely pollen-gathering like a honeybee would. I would be very interested to know what they are if they're not european honeybees.
it's not her usual beat but maybe @futurebird has thoughts?
Crystal@baldur That is a bee and she is covered in pollen and she is wearing collected pollen at her hind legs. She looks like the carniolian bees we used to keep, but could be one of the lighter colored variety.
@MossyQuartz Awesome. Thanks! 🙂
