This is a Blue Banded Bee. These beautiful native Australian bees are rumored to be attracted to blue and purple flowers. They were certainly enjoying the salvia on the weekend! 💙💜 Blue Banded bees don't produce honey but they are very important to our ecosystem as they are buzz pollinators. This means they get flowers to release pollen by vibrating their wings. They can pollinate some flowers that honey bees are unable to, like tomato flowers. | Flow Hive
