Mr Raymond Uffer visited us to lead a ‘walk & talk’ on our native wild bees. We started off with a short afternoon walk to Audrey Bugg's meadow, where we checked out the insect life, and then repaired to the Institute for refreshments and an illustrated talk. Raymond gave us a fascinating insight into the life of bees and other insects, illustrated by pictures from his collection.
These are some of the creatures (and plants) we found on the walk...
Red Shanked Carder Bee (Bombus ruderarius)
Cuckoo Bee
Narcissus Bulb Fly (Merodon equestris)
Meadow Saxifrage
Star of Bethlehem
