Buzzing into the UK's Blackberry Paradise - Meet the Ivy Bee!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by photographer Andy Sands, we are introduced to a fascinating new addition to the British wildlife scene - the Ivy Bee (Colletes hederae). This charming male specimen takes a momentary break from its busy routine, finding solace on a succulent Blackberry in Oxfordshire, England. Since its arrival in 2001, this delightful species has been causing quite a buzz among nature enthusiasts. With its vibrant yellow and black stripes contrasting against the deep purple hues of the juicy fruit, it's no wonder why this image is an absolute treat for both our eyes and taste buds! The Ivy Bee belongs to the solitary bee family and can be found plastering itself onto various plants across Western Europe. However, it seems that these buzzing creatures have developed an affinity for Britain's beloved Blackberries. Who could blame them? The sweet nectar and delicious berries make for an irresistible combination! As we marvel at this enchanting photograph from Nature Picture Library's catalogue10 collection, let us celebrate Mother Nature's creativity in introducing such marvelous creatures to our landscapes. So next time you stumble upon some ripe Blackberries while strolling through Oxfordshire or any other part of Great Britain, take a moment to appreciate these hardworking pollinators who bring life and sweetness to our surroundings!
