  1. A striped sweat bee!

    I know it's a terrible photo as it's blown up and pixelated (so don't zoom in!) but this was such a lovely tiny little guy, I had to take a photo to share. I was so excited to find him.

  2. Marigold Bedfellows
    Auriferous Green Sweat Bees*

    Good morning! (Or good evening to my down-under Fedifriends.)

    I hope everyone had a good night, sleeping as soundly as these tiny things. I'm so glad these flowers are still sheltering so many bees in these cold nights. I wonder where they go when the flowers are finally gone?

  3. For day 5 of #SciArtSeptember prompt corridor I am sharing the pollinator garden work which I made for my show about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Using collaged linocut prints I built up this little garden with multiple native wildflowers, bees, moths, butterflies, beetles and a log, complete with some holes as homes for native bees. 🧵1/n

  4. Augochlura pura (Halictidae) in my garden today. I think she has plans on nesting in my terracotta strawberry planter even though it's not a rotting log, their usual choice. I'm going to go on a run, then see whether I can lure her into drinking some sweat. #SweatBee #augochlura #insects #bee #bees #hymenoptera #halictidae

  5. Small little sweat bee relaxing on a dandelion inflorescence. Not sure what it is so will likely just wait for John Ascher (National University of Singapore) to find my observation on iNaturalist. I'm so grateful for IDers like him. #bees #inaturalist #hymenoptera #insects #dandelion #sweatbee #halictidae inaturalist.org/observations/2

  6. Another detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee). I took a little liberty with scale so I could actually get some details and yet show the bee in context of the flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, 🧵1/2

  8. CW: A sweat bee and its shadow

    I just love how the angle of the sun makes the shapes of the antennas different lengths
