SEA ASTER BEE Colletes halophilus (f)

 

·         These photographs of Sea Aster Bees Colletes halophilus were taken on the Normandy coast and their identification was kindly confirmed by Steven Falk. In the UK, this bee is found at brackish southern and south eastern coastal sites including saltmarshes where Sea Aster Tripolium pannonicum (not illustrated) grows. Their nests are excavated in the sandy margins of these marshlands.
