Thank you! I’ve been watching a male woolcarder bee which has claimed a purple flowering plant outside my front door chase all the other insects away. Constantly on the patrol and dependable, I look forward to seeing him every day. I’m so happy to finally figure out which kind of bee he is and learn so much about them! I suppose I should plant some lambs ear and geraniums close by as well. Very interesting video.

Amazing video, by far the best I have found about these amazing animals! I'm hoping to attract some of these guys with some lambs ear and bee hotels
