Watching a garden busy with bees is one of the joys of summer. But
can you tell a White-tailed Bumblebee from a Garden Bumblebee? Or
confidently distinguish between a Patchwork Leafcutter Bee and a
Long-horned Bee? Britain and Ireland are home to more than 270
species of bees, some of which play an important ecological role
through their industrious pollination of our crops and wildflowers.
RSPB ID Spotlight Bees is a reliable fold-out chart that presents
illustrations of 40 of our most widespread and familiar bees by
renowned artist Richard Lewington. - Species are grouped by family
and helpfully labelled to assist with identification - Artworks are
shown side by side for quick comparison and easy reference at home
or in the field - The reverse of the chart provides information on
the habitats, behaviour, life cycles and diets of our bees, as well
as the conservation issues they are facing and how the RSPB and
other conservation charities are working to support them -

gardening for bees are also included The ID Spotlight charts help
wildlife enthusiasts identify and learn more about our most common
species using accurate colour illustrations and informative,
