Domino Cuckoo Bee - Native solitary bee
Guessing that someone thought these amazing bees had a resemblance to dice with their white spots on their black fur.
Thanks again Graeme Swinbourne for sharing his photos. The solitary bees obviously love his geisha girl plant flowers.

Neon Cuckoo Bee - Australian Native

A stunning iridescent blue and back coloured bee. They are solitary bees.

Just like Cuckoo birds they lay their eggs in the nests of Blue Banded Bees to eat the provisions placed in the nests by those bees.

Thanks again to Graeme Swinbourne for his wonderful photos.

Beeutiful Big Blue Banded Bees

These Australian native bees are truly beautiful. They are buzz pollinating solitary bees (please see previous post about Teddy bear bees for an explanation of what constitutes solitary bees that are buzz pollinators).
Thanks once again Graeme Swinbourne for sharing your excellent photos.

Teddy Bear Bees - Australian Native Bee

Cute name for a very cute bee.
They are buzz pollinators meaning they blast flowers with air from their wings to release pollen from flowers that have antlers holding the pollen like tomato flowers.
They are also solitary bees. Unlike social bees (honey bees and native stingless bees) which have a single fertile queen and thousands of sterile female workers each female solitary bee is fertile and they have individual nests to lay their eggs.

Photos of these cute bees were taken by Graeme Swinbourne. Thank you Graeme for sharing.
