Bees of Britain (WildID)
Bees of Britain (WildID) | Christopher O\'Toole, Buglife, Chris Shields
1 post | 1 read
Our Bee Guide is a colourful and informative fold-out bee identification chart, featuring 28 species of bees found in gardens in Britain and Ireland. As well as the ‘Big Six’ bumblebees, the bee field guide includes mining bees, cavity-nesting bees and cuckoo bees.
Beautiful colour paintings by wildlife artist and illustrator Chris Shields highlight what to look for when identifying British bees. Plus the silhouettes next to each image show typical life size for each species.
Our Bee identification chart consists of 8 fold-out pages featuring full-colour illustrations, making the identification of bees much easier to follow. The reverse side includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers key characters to look out for, plus flight period, habitat and range. Also included in this bee field guide are useful pointers to help distinguish between similar-looking species.

I am, as Mrs Bookwomble put it, identifying the fuck out of these bees! 🐝🔍🤓
This is a Garden Bumblebee. Other visitors to the flowering shrub in our back garden have been the Honeybee, of course, a Common Carder Bee and a Red-tailed Bumblebee. The tagged guide has 28 of the most common of the ~250 British bee species, and it's enriching my lazy day in the sun 🌞
Also had a few Common Blue butterflies for variety 🦋

LeahBergen Your wife‘s comment! 😆😆 4d
Bookwomble @LeahBergen Yes! She then said I should allow them to identify however they wished and not impose oppressive human categories on them. She has a point! ✊ 4d
