Dalantech Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Unknown Bee.... ID needed? Jealous of that last frame Bruce -one for the portfolio Not sure on the ID, but I've seen solitaries sleeping in groups like that as well. I think that they are a species of Miner bee -males camping out in the area where females are nesting. For a positive ID try sending Nico a Flickr mail (if you have a Flickr account). Nico is an entomologist in Greece who specializes in solitary bees -I'd like to know half of what he's forgotten about them... Nov 21, 2009 at 10:27 PM

Budzzlife Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Unknown Bee.... ID needed? I got Niko's reply Dear Buddy, Thank you very much for your message and the lovely photos. They are solitary bees of the family Nomiini (possibly a Pseudapis sp.) in the family Halictidae. The easiest morphological character to ID them as such is the scale-like structure on the tegulae (= the wing basis on the thorax). Check out my photos of bees in my gallery, you will see that most of them look very different indeed. Best wishes, Nico Nov 22, 2009 at 12:35 PM
