A day in Spello....and an unidentified Bee

Caught a bus to the local station and then a train to Spello.... just a taster...

If anyone can identify this bee..... it was very very large!!

Stewart said...: Hi Tricia, it looks like Violet Carpenter Bee Xylocopa violacea that has a stripe of yellow pollen on its thorax. That will be from the plants that it pollinates...Google the bee, Its a big one I have seen in Hungary before...; 15 May 2013 at 23:23
