Masked bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae: Hylaeus spp.) spend a lot of time collecting pollen for their young, like this one on a sulphur cinquefoil (Rosaceae: Potentilla recta). They lack the transport hairs most bees have and carry it in a secondary "honey stomach." Clayton Michigan, 27 Jun 2014.

Hoverflies (family Syrphidae): As their common name suggests, these important Pollinators are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers. They are the second most important pollinator after Bees. Lovely photo taken by Richard Burkmar in Middlesex, UK. #hoverfly #hoverflies #wildlife #pollinators

We also visited the experimental fields at IRTA Mas Badia, where we were able to see the #LivingLabs and the experiments currently being carried out. On our way to #BaixEmpordà, we visited Fructícola Empordà orchards and Mooma’s facilities 🍎🍷

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations.
