LionelB<p>I didn't get as good a photo as I had hoped. Need to switch technique. This is a leafcutter bee but I would need a better shot at it to pin down the species of Megachile.</p><p>Anyway, it shows the importance of dandelions!</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/solitarybee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solitarybee</span></a></p>

Fiona<p>Day 2 - once upon a time I just thought of bees as honey and bumbles. Then I became a bit more educated and learned about the importance of the solitary bee. This patchwork leaf cutter bee seems quite happy with that fact. The first year I watched the females filling up the ‘hotel rooms’ I thought it couldn’t get any more amazing. The next year watching the new bees emerge proved me so wrong! <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NatureAdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureAdventCalendar</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/AdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdventCalendar</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SolitaryBee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolitaryBee</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SaveOurBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveOurBees</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollinators</span></a></p>
