Mining Bee - a photo on Flickriver

Mining Bee

            And more from the garden during the lockdown period. We are lucky to have a small garden which we enjoy tremendously at the moment. While looking for more motifs for new photos I noticed a few bees flying low over the grass and they turned out to be mining bees looking for a spot to dig a hole in the ground. Those solitary bees will then lay one single egg and add pollen for the larvae. Not easy to photograph as they were obviously not standing still for my camera ;-) 
Quite happy to see that my standard walk-around tamron lens is good enough to image the little single eyes the bees have in the middle of their head!
