Honey Bee
Apis melifera
41.1996, -3.58832
Field Notes
Description:
The first picture was taken in the morning when there are bees all around the margins. The frog does not appear to be concerned. <br>The others were at sunset, the water is extremely shallow and the marging too muddy to venture on, just a few mm deep and the bees appear to be swimming and diving below the surface. This happens every evening around sunset.<br>
At home I have seen wasps doing this on the garden pond but they always seem to fly off in the end.
Habitat:
Mountain airfield at 1100 metres asl, grass with scattered shrubs and bushes and a pond which often dries out in summer. Often used for grazing sheep.
