Male White Tailed

Another look around Lowestoft North Denes didn't produce so much today as most of the food plants have finished flowering, leaving the bees to search elsewhere.

The standout bee was a male White Tailed bumblebee, Bombus lucorum, feeding on ragwort.

Ragwort gets a lot of bad press, but in my opinion its a bit of a life giver to many species.
