What's all the buzz about this bee, you ask? The blue-banded bee (Amegilla cingulate) is one of a few Australian native bee species that performs 'buzz pollination'. These bees will grab onto the flower and shake their entire bodies rapidly, causing the flower and its anthers to vibrate, dislodging the pollen, which the bee then collects.

Blue banded bees are solitary buzz pollinators native to Australia. 💙🐝🇦🇺 They have thick reddish-brown fur on their thorax and a black abdomen with iridescent blue stripes! Males have five stripes and females have four. This female blue banded bee is doing something called nectar robbing. She is drinking the nectar from a hole bitten into the side of this salvia flower, instead of going through the flowers natural opening. This means that the bee avoids contact with the flowers reproductive
