>I am not very confident in the correct identification of the specific bee
species, given the list of choices shown here:
http://greatbritishbeecount.co.uk/seen-a-bee.php
Could not agree more.
The public have difficulty in distinguishing honey bees from bumblebees.
Beekeepers can tell the difference between honey bees and bumblebees, but
most cannot identify any of the bumblebee species.
Most can recognise a wasp.
Solitary bees are a mystery to both beekeepers and the general public.
