| Re: Mediteranian Bee sighting in the uk
In September in Pont Farcy, Normandy,I found three half inch holes in a fencing post, one seemed in the process of being bored since it was only a quarter of an inch deep. i have rather poor resolution pictures of these. I glimpsed a bumble bee size black insect disappear into one hole but could not identify it and did not see it again. I have never seen one before. Could this be Xylocopa violacea? If so is it an unusual sighting and is it likely to use the same site as a nest next year? |
