What's all the buzz about this bee, you ask? The blue-banded bee (Amegilla cingulate) is one of a few Australian native bee species that performs 'buzz pollination'. These bees will grab onto the flower and shake their entire bodies rapidly, causing the flower and its anthers to vibrate, dislodging the pollen, which the bee then collects.

Blue banded bees are solitary buzz pollinators native to Australia. 💙🐝🇦🇺 They have thick reddish-brown fur on their thorax and a black abdomen with iridescent blue stripes! Males have five stripes and females have four. This female blue banded bee is doing something called nectar robbing. She is drinking the nectar from a hole bitten into the side of this salvia flower, instead of going through the flowers natural opening. This means that the bee avoids contact with the flowers reproductive

While ordinary bees can't do this, these small but powerful pollinator specialists help increase plant yields with their high-pitched buzzing. These bees build nests in the gr

I just love these fuzzy little blue banded bees 🥺💙 They hatch every spring and my garden is full of them. They are an important insect in Australian gardens, they use buzz pollination to pollinate native flowers, which honeybees can’t do. They’ll also help your summer veggie crops like tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers and basil. Researchers at Adelaide uni found tomato crops were pollinated better by blue banded bees. This rocky crop where the females nest was here when we moved in, but I will b

Have you ever seen a bee collect pollen up close? 🐝🔍 The average honey bee can visit more than 2,000 flowers in one day! These busy workers play a crucial role in pollination, where they use the hairs on their bodies to carry large grains of pollen between plants and major crops. Bees are essential for the health of people and the planet. To learn more about #conservation and how to save our buzzing friends, tune in to the premiere of #BeeCzar tonight at 10p ET on Discovery. 🎥: simonkr | Disc
