Here's an image taken in my garden at a water feature. The bees have made a substantial nest just 2m away from their watering hole.
Just had a large flying insect pass my office window. Body about 4cms long and 3cms wide, with relatively short wings. Anybody any idea what it might be - at least 3 or 4 times larger in weight than a bumble-bee.
Forgot to mention the Bees are "Apis flora" (Arabian or Asian dwarf honeybee).
