Leafcutter bees have moved into our garden. Here's a female Unarmed Leafcutter bee (no idea why she's named that - she looks to me like she has the usual number of bee arms) resting with the piece of leaf she's cut to use as a cell for her egg before she flies it into her nesting spot under our front steps. Don't fear these bees!They are gentle and won't do any serious damage to your plants.

Washington’s first statewide survey of bees has found dozens of species new to the state.

Several long-lost species, turned up by citizen-scientists with nets and specimen jars, had not been seen in Washington for a century or more.
