Members of Tenby and District Camera Club recently spent a sunny weekend photographing bees in their gardens or while on their exercise walks.

As well as a lot of bee-utiful images some 12 different species of Bumblebee, Solitary Bee and even a Bee mimic Fly were identified.

Help with identification was provided by Clare Flynn, Pembrokeshire County Bee Recorder and records were sent to The West Wales Biodiversity Information Centre.

A big thumbs up for Pembrokeshire’s wonderful nature and wildlife! It really does pay to grow a wide variety of insect friendly cultivars and native plants .

More information about bees can be obtained from The Bumblebee Conservation Trust or The Wildlife Trust.
