They're so cute and silly looking. I've even been known to pat them when they are busy among my flowers. Whenever I've discovered a nest in my yard (only twice) I've watched it intently. To the point a couple of angry bees chased me away. Each species is thoroughly covered including stylized drawings to show how varied the markings might be depending on the role of the bee (worker v. queen v. drone) and when and where in its range it can be found. There are color photos and lengthy descriptions of a bee's individual characteristics. It's a terrific reference. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
