Summary[edit]
| Description |
Red Mason Bees (Osmia bicornis) mating - or at least cuddling! You can see the "horns" sticking out from the female's face that give this species its name. These bees live on nectar and pollen. Each female makes a separate nest typically in crumbling mortar but also in sandy banks, holes and cracks and even in old snail shells. The nests have a series of cells for the larvae to live in and the female adult provisions them with pollen. Highest position in Explore: #214 on Apr 18, 2019. |
