My fascination was crushed by the jped ðŸ˜

This inspired me to see if there are guide books for N. American bees like for wildflowers. At my local library there is a book called The bees in your backyard : a guide to North America's bees by Joseph S. Wilson & Olivia Messinger Carril. Also the even more specific Bumble bees of North America : an identification guide by Paul H. Williams, Robbin W. Thorp, Leif L. Richardson & Sheila R. Colla. Looks like I have some reading to do. If they're useful I'll get a copy for myself on my birthday.

The Bees in Your Backyard is an amazing book. The pictures are stunning, but the information - where they live, how they live, flowers they specialize in - are fascinating. I highly recommend it for learning about your area's bees.

A fraction of 1% of the bees of North America was a less catchy title I suppose

All the shiny blue/green ones are my favorite

Makes absolutely no sense to post this if we can read what each is. Unless your goal was to tease us.

Just saw the crappy quality of the repost...my apologies!

If you want to encourage bees in your garden don't mulch the whole thing. Leave patches of bare soil so bees can nest there.

It would be cool if I could read that
The poster is for sale in a number of places, though I haven't been able to find it's origin. I can see it says copyright on the bottom but not who holds it.
