Note the mug of tea and the gingernuts ~wink~

One of the best things about having the flu is I'm finally catching up on pictures I should have sorted out weeks ago.

Here is a solitary bee who has decided that the middle of the path is an ideal spot for his home.

I wish them well :)

I made a full edition of my alfalfa leafcutting bee (Megachile rotundata) cutting a leaf. The alfalfa leafcutting bee is a solitary bee originally from Europe which has been spread to all continents but Antartica for agriculture. In North America it has become feral and widespread. 🧵1/2

Looks like my bee house has been colonised by a newly arrived species of #SolitaryBee: Osmia cornuta, the European orchard bee. 1st recorded in the UK in 2017. Just trying to confirm the ID but quite excited! It's not even in my field guide
