This morning I went out to see if the Leafcutter bee I had spotted last night was around. There were not one but two Leafcutter bees buzzing around this blue Salvia. It is a popular plant with my bees as I counted 5 types of bees on the Salvia at the same time. Honeybee, Leafcutter Bee, Blue Banded native bee, tiny Stingless native bee and a brief visit from a Teddy Bear Bee.

I am thrilled to see this Leafcutter bee, Megachile sp., which has eluded me till now. More pictures of it to follow.
