Long Tongued Bee

These are the bees we know best. They include bees from the Bombus, Megachilidae & Hymenoptera species. We know some of them as Bumble bees, Leaf cutter bees, and Solitary bees. These bees can access hard to reach nectar and pollen as their tongues can reach up to 12mm. They don’t need to land on flowers and can instead hover at the flower and reach their tongue into the flower. Their bodies tend to be much bigger.

When trying to encourage them into your garden, just one simple thing will make a big difference. These bees love to have cover as, like us, they need a break from the sun and heat. Planting ground cover gives them a place to hide out between feedings and flying. Try to have plants such as pulmonaria, ajuga, aubretia, prostrate rosemary, and oregano, which all have low growing habits.
