EDITORS COMMENTS

A vibrant Poppy Bee (Osmia papaveris) delicately perches on a Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas), meticulously cutting a piece of petal to fashion into its cozy nesting material. With an artist's precision, this leaf-cutting bee showcases its resourcefulness and adaptability. As it carefully selects the perfect petal, one can't help but marvel at the intricate process behind creating a safe haven for future generations. Bamberg, Germany provides the picturesque backdrop for this enchanting scene in June. The bright red petals of the Common Poppy perfectly complement the industrious bee as it goes about its solitary mission. The photo encapsulates not only the beauty of these remarkable creatures but also their vital role in pollination and maintaining our delicate ecosystem. It serves as a reminder that even tiny insects possess incredible skills and contribute to our natural world in ways we may often overlook. Solvin Zankl has masterfully captured this intimate moment between nature and wildlife, showcasing both their fragility and resilience.
