| | | So frustrating
I have spent most of this evening trying to photograph a Bee bringing in portions of cut leaf to its nest. So far this is the best shot I have managed to get. Not so good  Nevermind I will try again in the sunshine (har har har) tomorrow. hopefully he will continue as today.

Hi Kev
Incredibly frustrating, isn't it? I had one building a nest inside a large plant pot on the patio last week - and the time I spent there, peering through a viewfinder, waiting for the bee to arrive with the next bit of leaf .... then eventually giving up and taking my eye away, just in time to see the bee arrive and disappear under the pot!!  |

Patience is a virtue......... I just wish it would hurry up and come to me

Did you get a look at your bee? I managed to ID mine without a reference book - it was definitely a Leafcutter Bee .... sometimes I amaze myself!! |
