I just found one neon cuckoo bee a hour ago! Didnt know they were cleptoparasitic. This is a new information for me

Lovely video! Here in South Africa those neon bees certainly spend a lot of time on flowers. I've been calling them cloak and dagger bees but they look similar and are also brood parasites. I think we should be careful of trying to justify anythings existence in terms of some kind of service they provide. They are simply marvellous creatures, part of an indescribably complex wonderful system of which we are also a part. They are. They don't need our permission to exist.

Thank you Steve. Happy you liked it, and all the way from South Africa! Cloak and dagger is another name for cuckoo bees. Totally agree that they are marvelous creatures, part of an amazing ecosystem. Thanks again. Bee Happy
