  1. #Halictus #subauratus (#Halictidae) is a wild #bee widespread in the Palearctic and is still common enough to not require a protection status. The #species is #eusocial with only a few #auxiliaryfemales and builds underground #nests in sandy soil. It is not picky about the plants, where it collects pollen (#polylectic). The conspicuous #brush on the #hindlegs is used to collect #pollen. Photos: on a dry meadow in #Berlin in 2020, new edit 2025. #biodiversity #evolution #macro
