Take a look at this site, there are several pic and a description of their breeding etc. They do live in a colony, with males, females and workers. The Queen can be active until October (my pic of the hairy one is 6th October), now I'm wondering if my solitary bee is the Queen, the others males, workers, females, but the smaller one does look like B. sylvarum. My smaller bees also feed on tubular flowers, I have Penstemon and they feed on those. This looks like my side view pic, a female, http://www.arkive.org/species/ARK/invertebrates_terrestrial_... Look at this face, it looks like the one I have. http://www.arkive.org/species/ARK/invertebrates_terrestrial_... |
