Miner Bee warming up on my finger

IPClark

Looking a little cold, I let this little miner bee climb up onto my hand to warm up (at least I think it's a Miner bee, perhaps Brian or Phil could confirm ).

Taking a leaf out of LordV's book, first time I've found a cold one willing to climb up on my hand

Thank you .

Once it warmed up it speeded things up by giving its wings a good work out. Very surprising how much of a breeze they create but also gives an appreciation for how much power they require to fly.

Lovely capture- yes a miner bee, does you a good feeling when they do this.
