Field Notes

Notes:

Eine wirklich beeindruckende Biene, so groß wie eine dicke Hummel und vollkommen schwarz. Dabei gemächlich und überaus friedfertig. Eine Begegnung, die den Tag versüßt. ////////////// A really impressive bee, as big as a fat humblebee and totally black. And yet easy-going and exceedingly peaceable. An encounter that sweetens the day.
