Still Waters Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 A rare bee thought to be extinct in the UK since 1946 has been rediscovered in Kent by a wildlife photographer. Roger Tidman, 66, was in Dungeness when he unknowingly spotted a female Andrena vaga bee carrying pollen. But although Mr Tidman was drawn to the striking grey-haired insect because of its colour, he had no idea it was so rare. http://www.dailymail...Kent-coast.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Chubb Posted May 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nice to see a positive Bee story for a change. Shame about the humour though guys and I thought my jokes were bad... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted May 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2014 i know, i know. i need to learn to bee-hive. sometimes i just make jokes like that, though. it's almost inpollentary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted May 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's good to hear they aren't extinct . .. but with so many species (of everything) disappearing, i have to wonder if some others will now get out of control due to lack of natural predators and competitors ?
