Re: Mediteranian Bee sighting in the uk That's brilliant Stuart! In an effort to see what you were talking about I took the liberty of copying that image to my photoshop, cropped and enhanced it - and sure enough even I could see the paler segments.
As others have said, I imagine there will be no way of determining whether they arrived naturally or as 'pallet escapes'. Is there any potential conflict with native bee species or do they have their own unique niche?
Cheers,
Steve. |
