Meteen op kamers of lekker thuis blijven? Sommige groefbij-vrouwtjes keren na het paren gewoon terug naar hun geboortenest om samen met hun zussen te overwinteren. Pas in het voorjaar starten ze hun eigen nest. #groefbij #halictus #wildebijen #biodiversiteit #wistjedat #natuur
Most of the image is occupied by a light pinkish-purple aster flower with an orange centre. Perched on one side is a slim dark bee with distinctive white stripes on its abdomen, yellow legs, and long slender antennae. He has a bit of dark blonde fur on his back and face, and deep black, glossy eye

An Echinacea purpurea (also called Eastern Purple Coneflower, Purple Coneflower) wildflower was blooming in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on June 18, 2025. There was a tiny native bee on the flower, possibly genus Halictus.

Inside the yellow centre of a small purple aster blossom, a bee has its face dipped down, drinking nectar. It has long antennae and a dark body with abdominal stripes, and is peeking one large inky black eye through the flower.

Flowers are about 2-3cm from edge to edge so these guys are probably around 7mm or so
The long body & antennae I think it’s a male
So nice to catch such a tiny thing in a beam of golden hour light
