    Default Bees

    Hi,
    The bees that have been in my garden this year are about 1/3 the size of normal bees, more numerous, and more lively.
    I am in Melbourne.
    Anyone know about this species of bee. I have never seen them before.
    I'll try and get a photo.

    What you say & what people hear are not always the same thing.

    I've got plenty of them.

    Yellow or Goldenrod Crab spider.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
