Chocolate bees - Bag of 10

Product Information

Also known as the Noolbenger- it’s aboriginal name - the honey possum is the world’s only true nectar-eating marsupial (indeed, one of the only mammals). Considering honey possums don’t eat honey and are only remotely related to possums, Noolbenger seems a far more appropriate name. Just look at them. Definitely Noolbengers. Nomad Bees are annoying because they’ll take over the hives used by other solitary bee types. Fortunately there is a limit to how many times this can happen per hive, so if you keep capturing the nomad bees when they come out and re-homing them somewhere away from your hives, you’ll eventually deal with the problem. (Keep at least one or two for breeding, though!) Care and feeding A lot of bee types either don’t spawn in the world organically, or do but are easier to get by luring. Using an appropriate nest and some honey treats, many different species of bees can be tempted to come to you. When the hind legs are covered in pollen, the Chocolate Mining Bee looks similar to females of the Buffish Mining Bee. Female Buffish Mining Bees have dense ginger hair and a bright orange pollen brush. When taking photographs, it is useful to capture the hind legs to aid identification. Often looked by their furrier and larger cousins, solitary bees in fact make up over 90% of bee species found in Britain. Over 100 bee species have been recorded from the North East: 19 bumblebees, one honeybee and the rest? Solitary bees!

Scientists in the Haerty Groupat Earlham Institute are exploring the natural history of many of these pollinator species, as part of a BBSRC funded project. By studying the genetic diversity of some pollinating species, the group hopes to better understand the national picture of how pollinators have been impacted by industrial agriculture and the associated loss of wildflower meadows over the last century. This knowledge can help us form plans to boost their survival in the long run. Mining Bees are a group of solitary bees that characteristically ‘mine’ into the earth to create their nest burrows. Mining Bees are the largest group of solitary bees and in the North East, there are around 25 species known from the region. Many are on the wing during springtime and several of these spring-flying species were submitted to the North East Bee Hunt in 2020. These species can appear similar, but the distinctive females have key features to look out for. This post takes a closer look at the females of three species of Mining Bee that can be found in your garden. Tawny Mining Bee Andrena fulva

Note the tufts of hair on the hind leg of the female. These get covered in pollen. Note they have quite long antennae. They appear in mid-April and are mostly gone by late May. In that time, they mate, clear and provision their nests with pollen and lay eggs for the next generation. At any time and particularly later on during this period they may explore inside buildings.

The problem I have with a lot of Minecraft mods is that out-of-game documentation is thin to nonexistent, often consisting of little more than a YouTube video from two years ago for an obsolete version of the mod. In-game documentation has improved massively since the introduction of Patchouli, and these days you can often get help by dropping onto Discord, but no matter how friendly and helpful the Discord is or how complete the in-game book, I generally prefer an offline manual.

Bundle savings Pollen collecting structures on the hind legs, composed of hairs rather than corbiculae (the flat segment of honey bees) Ivy bees look a little like honey bees, but their thorax is a bright orange colour and the stripes on their abdomen are more clearly defined and a brighter yellow.Red mason bees are solitary, meaning that they don’t live in communal hives. They tend to nest alone in hollow plant stems, which is one reason why they love bee hotels so much. They can also live on cliffs or in the crumbling walls of decrepit buildings, and can be spotted between March and June. Like tree bumblebees, ivy bees are newcomers to the UK, first spotted here in 2001. Unusually, they're an autumn bee, first emerging in late August. As their name suggests, this is to coincide with the flowering of their main foodplant, ivy. Chocolate bees are available in different quantities from a small gift wrapped bag to a bulk priced box at trade cost.
