Impressed at your wonderful drawings, and excited to find someone else blogging about bees! My blog is at www.pollinators.info, and I've been studying bees in the USA for my dissertation. Thanks for helping to teach people about the "other" bees! :)Athena Rayne Andersonhttp://www.pollinators.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946913143265151282.post-26285991135540779382012-01-18T19:04:18.126+00:002012-01-18T19:04:18.126+00:00Loved this post - learnt loads!
