Watch as mason bee males see the world for the first time. Warm temps got them out of their dark tubes by the hundreds today. #beevideo #masonbee #osmialignaria
It’s a boy! The season’s first orchard mason bee, resting on my daughter’s finger. The boys don’t have stingers so no need for alarm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#bees #masonbee #osmialignaria
Orchard mason bee. Where once there were thousands, this is the last to remain in my hotel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~#osmialignaria #masonbee #beehotel
Orchard mason bee male on red-flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum. Stunning shrubs native of my region, the Pacific Northwest of North America, and planted in gardens across the world. I am often criticized for being obsessive about planting these about my property. Two dozen and counting. I have a dozen more in pots. Bees and hummingbirds love them, and I love bees and hummingbirds. Yay bees. #ribessanguineum #currant #masonbee #osmialignaria #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro
