Blue Banded Honey Bee

Blue Banded Honey Bee ( Amegilla cingulata )

Blue banded honey bees are also very similar to common yellow honey bee as in size and other aspects but basic different is that Blue-banded Bees are covered with golden hairs and abdomen is banded with pale blue bands on black.

Blue banded bees can sting but they are very placid creatures, and will tolerate very close inspection. Attempting to catch or hold one could be another matter.

Female blue banded bees build their nests underground, but males don’t build nests. They roost for the night clinging to plant stems, and are often observed sitting in a line along the same stem.

Unlike honey bees, blue-banded bees are capable of hovering, which one would assume makes them easier to photograph. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and taking a clear photograph of a blue banded bee in flight is reason for celebration.

The Common Blue-banded Bee is found throughout most of Australia but is not known in Tasmania or the Northern Territory.but they are also common in south Asian countries as well ( this picture was taken in Sri Lanka )
