New study: Some bees have tiny magnetic, internal compasses to help them navigate

Some more pictures from my Wednesday river walk, which is when I learned beekeepers have their own patron saint. 😇
Also, that last picture, how lucky are the kids who can say they have that for their "neighborhood playground". <jealous>

Here's the first bee to visit my mud pan. Possibly a Lasioglossum based on the relatively sparse hairs on abdominal tergites. It's interesting that she took a water break during foraging. #bees #lasioglossum #halictidae #hymenoptera #insects #nature #inaturalist #macro #pollen #pollination inaturalist.org/observations/3
