White-Tailed Bee

This is especially for my friend Sallyann who loves bees, especially the white-tailed bee. There seems to be a nest of them somewhere in out garden this year and today they were working the aquilegias.

I like this shot with its different angle. I didn't know there was a white-tailed bee. Another bit of knowledge gleaned from 365!

There are about 100 different sorts of wild bee in this country. When I applied for a bee-keeping course at Pershore Agricultural College I had to know something about the different ones and how they were different from hive bees, in order to pass the entrance exam. It was very interesting altogether.
