September conclusions for 2021
This month is valuable in many ways for Observation of Bees in the local greenspaces and cultivated Gardens. Am proud to contribute what I can, to learn about what insects/bees/wasps that are presently active or not. It can feel so child-like many times over when I observe new species or a new situation.
For example when I found the Halictus species of Bees, observation September 3rd- Poey's Furrow Bee. While maintaining the garden 5pm cut one rudbeckia stem- turned it over checking for mold? NO! Saw three furrow bees holding onto the flower! What a grand discovery. One larger, 2 smalls next to each other. It was close to end of the day light/grey/wet day. It was a hopefull moment to see how some can endure the rainy weather or even just overnight.
Have also found many species of bees/wasps/earwigs/ants spending rest time or overnight time in a shrub- Rose of Sharon's fluffy-tufted blooms. Small Green bees in particular, then striped bi-coloured, and Sweat bees. Easy to see on the white petals. Nature providing it's own resource for fellow species - Symbiotic relationship?

Love these and bees of many types love them too. Good long bloom period, self-seeds, and seedheads are interesting. Stands tall in part sun.

Such a "sweet" find! Pruning-saw these underneath. Two small cuddler's, plus larger adult. Quite small bees on a petite gold daisy.
