Wow!

@pkster101.bsky.social Sep 2, 2026, 11:31 PM

Cheers. Very distinctive! I may not have noticed them otherwise. It still took me a couple hours to get the first photos, because they just wouldn't settle for more than a split second, and a return visit to get the footage, by which time I'd tuned in to them a little better.

@pkster101.bsky.social Sep 2, 2026, 2:03 PM

Footage of this newly discovered UK bee species.
