I am trying to get an apiarist to remove a feral bee colony from a nest box on my property. We are constantly told (in the media etc) how important European Honey Bees are for pollinating - this photo shows we have a wide variety of native pollinators available - even for (prob.) a non-native flower species. Could you add an appropriate crop of your second shot in 4615880 to this record - it gives further details of markings.

A new species for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern tablelands region. Tim, thanks for separating out the new species from the original 'group' photo. Excellent photo.

WendyEM: As requested in comments above, I've added a crop of the second shot in 4615880 to this record (the third image). Hope this helps with further details of markings. Tim
