 Yellow Halicitid Bee  Naħla rqiqa safra |
| Further Information: A central and western Mediterranean bee which is frequently found in Malta in the warmer months of late Spring and Summer. It is hence often found in Spring-Summer flowering plants such as many tall thistles (eg Carlina involucrata, Carthamus lanatus, Cynara spp.), Echinophora spinosa, Chiliadenus bocconei, etc. It is characterised by the black & white bands on the abdomen, but many species of the Halictus have that pattern. The male is smaller than the female. The latter nests and lay eggs in the ground. |
