Inflight capture of a native Blue banded bee showing its large & highly unusual oval shaped eye and, of course, its eponymous blue stripes.

💙🐝🍆🌸 Native blue banded bee on eggplant flowers in our garden. These moments make planting flowering natives and weeding by hand rather than using chemicals worthwhile. #bluebandedbee

In the article's #BlueBandedBee pic, it looks like it's visiting flowers of Salvation Jane/Paterson's curse (Echium plantagineum) - an appropriate image for an article from SA, where it's a naturalised weed. BBBs will also visit exotic Salvia spp., blue-flowered or not. Plant Salvias!

A watercolour sketch of red bonfire salvia flowers visited by an Australian native blue-banded bee. The bee’s head and thorax are fluffy brown and its abdomen is black with 4 blue stripes, indicating that this is a female bee.
One of the nicest things to happen in the last few weeks is the discovery of blue-banded bees regularly snacking in the salvia. Here’s a little homage to them. 😊💙🧶

The Blue Banded bee - Amegilla cingulata. It's common to Australia and New Guinea. The bands on the abdomen don't always look blue.

A blue-banded bee collecting pollen and nectar from red bonfire salvia flowers. It’s a large bee, with a pale brown fluffy head and thorax, and a shiny black and neon blue striped abdomen. The 4 blue stripes suggest this is a female.

A blue-banded bee in my back yard - a very welcome visitor! I hope she lays eggs in our bee hotel…

An Australian native blue-banded bee, Amegilla sp., resting on a stem.
A blue-banded bee, Amegilla sp. Their flight is typically faster and more erratic than European honey bees, but this one was kind enough to briefly stop and pose.

A group of blue-banded bees (Amegilla cingulata) clinging in a neat vertical line to a string of a wind chime. These native Australian solitary bees, known for their black and pale blue striped abdomens, are exhibiting their typical roosting behavior, where males rest together overnight. The background features a window with metal bars and a brick wall.
so honoured to be hosting these boys for the night 🐝 #bluebandedbee #australiannative #bees

Excuse the shaky video but was so excited to spot this blue banded bee waking up and grooming. You can see her long tongue and cool mouth parts! #entomology #macrophotography #insectphotography #bees #aussiebees #bluebandedbee #wildoz

Blue-banded bees perform a unique type of pollination known as "buzz pollination" or "sonication" - grabbing onto a flower and vibrating its flight muscles rapidly, producing a buzzing sound, until the pollen shakes loose. #science #sciencefacts #bluebandedbee #sonication #buzzpolination
