Is it a good one with lots of the bees shown ?I identified a bumble bee as a female Bombus terestris today. Last year it would have been just a bumble bee, then I found a bumblebee identification chart................
Not that good as it is a wall chart/poster produced by an agrichemical company. It does show a photograph of male and female forms of social bumblebees. There are 13 different species of social ones, It doesnt show any of the solitary species tho.Is it a good one with lots of the bees shown ?
Himself bought me a set from some charity or other and honestly, they're useless unless it's one of the six most common bees.
I'd love to have a clear chart that I could look that actually had a greater choice.

Galls are wasps (afaik) that narrows it a bit. Just need pics, Ids etc and we could have a small circulation, entomologists 'bible'
Yep, I have the Chinery too and find it pretty good along with the "British Insects" one as well.Both the Collins (Chinery: UK, north europe) and the Peterson (Borror/White: north america) insect guides are properly good enough to get your eye in. The Collins illustrates 50 bees.
Tis tree jizz, I hope she swallows.It's funny you should post that because there's a little Chinese granny whose youtube site I find interesting, and today she made pine flower cakes
The pollen is nutritious, protein rich.
I quite like pollen, I use it mostly from reedmace though, but I just add it to flour in season
