Wild bees are fascinating insects. They are considered important pollinators of many plants and - with the exception of bumblebees and some species of furrow bee - mostly live solitary lives. They come in numerous shapes and colors, which is why they are easily confused with hoverflies or wasps. This new identification book shows the most common and widespread native species. The typical identification features are explained directly on the photo and a separate chapter presents protection and colonization measures in your own garden. Books for entomologists, nature conservationists and insect lovers!
