APR Native Bee Monitoring Project

mason bee, likely male, sitting on agarita leaf in Hartman Prehistoric garden. Garden surprisingly crowded for a weekday, but it is a holiday for some.

Zilker: 2 sweat bees (2 different types, green metallic and lasioglossum I think) seen on elbow bush on hill country trail near the butterfly gate. Very few nectar sources due to recent freeze. Mexican plum in same area just starting to put on some blooms and saw 2 agarita flowers open nearby. The white honeysuckle bush in the Xeriscape garden also had some blooms, but did not observe native bees on it.

Walked around Mayfield but didn't notice anything in bloom or any flying insects yet.

Outstanding
