Mining bees in a mating pile-on
Mining bees in a mating pile-on, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
These are solitary mining bees which overwinter as adults and are some of the first bees to become active in the spring. There were lots of them active at the Brickworks today, at a wet area along a path.
Spending some time watching, it was obvious that love was in the air–mating was the major going-on.

About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
