User's notes
I only saw one bee at a time today but the bee was there repeatedly and for reasonable periods of time. If it helps I did not see the bee leave or arrive from across the road, which would suggest they are flying to and from the Rain-forest gully side. Just a thought.

Thanks for that info. There is another Acronychia in the gully opposite but I haven't checked it out. We also have recent sightings on Crowea flowers.
