Plenty of Action Along the Alley

More people are starting to get out & about now and with a bit of sunshine, the Digger Alley inhabitants have been keeping us amused.  The probe lens has been giving me some fun video clips again (and some conversations with the curious) so here's another dip into the world at our feet.

Beewolves normally close the door when they go out

So their burrows don't get pinched by others.  You want home to be there when you return with a bee after all!

Sliding down the burrow when they arrive home

Ornate Tailed Digger Wasps are also plentiful this year

They've been collecting a variety of bees - sometimes a bit larger than you'd expect!

They don't seem to have a bad relationship with the Beewolves, even chatting to them at the burrow entrance on occasion

Ants clear up the deceased, this one managing a bee all by itself

But I'll finish for a change with one of the little bees digging a home.  Gotta love the Green Eyed Flower Bee!

    Sundays forecast is looking grim, the pheromone is in for for a good washout.
