Leafcutter Bee

I really do not have the patience to be a wildlife photographer! But had an enjoyable hour in the garden watching the comings, goings and aerial antics of a couple of leafcutter bees.
I've never heard of a leafcutter bee but can see why it has this name from your photo. Have now Googled it and learnt something new.

I’m with Cazzi on this. I have never heard of that kind of bee. Fascinating and interesting photo with the bee and the leaf.

We have had leaf cutter bees in our garden they are such busy little guys and very hard to capture a photo..

That’s what you call a busy bee.

I'm with you about the patience required to photograph wildlife. This is something interesting to see.

I knew all about the leaf cutter ants, but never heard of bees doing this sort of damage as well! Watching wildlife is fascinating, but catching the right moment to get a good picture is quite trying! I have patience up to a point!

those are amazing - and they use that small leaf to plug the hole - we have a bee hotel locally for these bees which I need to sit and watch with a camera

Great find and capture. Last week a bee flew in front of me carrying part of a leaf but I wasnt quick enough to see where it went.

I’d heard of leafcutter ants, but not bees. Intereating!
