RE: The Leaf Cutter Bee - Small chilli - 08-09-2022 Those little nests are so pretty. RE: The Leaf Cutter Bee - Scarlet - 08-09-2022 I couldn't believe how well made they were. Fascinating...... And I knew what they were after going to the Jekka Herbs open day and bee Talk with ...VC please fill in the lady's name ![]() ![]() RE: The Leaf Cutter Bee - JJB - 08-09-2022 Fascinating, never seen them round here. RE: The Leaf Cutter Bee - Veggie - 24-06-2023 I've seen 2 leafcutter bees today, each carrying their little leaf. One is stuffing them down the side of a strawberry container and the other was pondering whether to make a nest in a pepper plant pot in the GH. My next task is to work out which type it is...........hadn't realised there were 7 of them. https://www.beelife.org/leafcutter-bees/ RE: Leaf cutter bee? - Bren - 25-06-2023 (01-07-2022, 09:07 AM)Bren Wrote: We've had them in the past but not for 3 or 4 years. not sure why.Still no leaf cutters here it’s really odd. RE: Leaf cutter bee - Mark_Riga - 08-07-2023 While watering the greenhouse this morning, I noticed something green flying around. I realised it was a leaf cutter bee so watched where it went. It went under an abandoned seed tray just outside on top of a wheelie bin and started stuffing it into one of its drainage holes. I saw it again stuffing another piece of leaf into the same place.

RE: Leaf cutter bee - Can the Man - 08-07-2023 I think one of my cherry trees may have succumbed to a leaf cutter bee. I will make some photos tomorrow and post for your opinion. |
