Green-eyed Bee PLQ6 Plaque

For 2022, the RSPB created a new ‘Digger Valley Insect Walk’ at Minsmere, known simply as Digger Alley – a stretch of path between the pond and north wall that is home to all sorts of wasps & bees. The south-facing aspect of this sandy path is important as it creates a warmer microclimate, and this has attracted a variety of burrowing insects that make their homes directly below your feet. These include rare bees and wasps such as the pantaloon bees, bee wolves, jewel wasps and the green-eyed flower bee. 

Identified by their yellow-marked faces and shrill hum, the green-eyed bee is sure to have you hypnotised as it rotates around the coaster like a swirling psychedelic saucer of hawksbeard.

Emma’s delicate trio also includes Jewel Wasp and Pantaloon Bee and provides a taste of the wonder one can expect if you enter Digger Alley.
