  1. Stopped by Christie Pits on my way back from a dentist appointment today. Wasn't really expecting to find much given how much foot traffic and how little "wild" space there is, but to my astonishment there were a few different kinds of bees making burrows in sandy patches on the sunny hillside!

    There were fluffy white-and-black mining bees (skittish, hard to get photos) and smaller, more docile metallic olive-green sweat bees.

  17. A 3rd bee I captured in my front yard and chilled for photography before re-releasing. I'm guessing at the species, based on visual comparison with past observations from my garden.

  22. #TIL Some #Andrena #bee species can be bivoltine: two generations in a single year, with peak activity in different seasons, e.g.: Spring + Summer. I've only thought of them as spring-flying, though I have some June observations from my garden.
