In recent months Ive been working on a really exciting project… well actually Ive been working on a few wonderful things, but the Sydney Parks Signage project has kept me busy for many months this year, illustrating around 40 pieces to complete the works. With the last brushstroke drawing to an end last week, I am left with a smile, a load of pride, a few new callouses on my hands and a collection of really sweet natural history paintings that are already making their way to new homes. There are some great buys in the collection if anyone is interested in owning a beautiful original artwork of mine, this might be the place to start. These were amongst the most thrilling of the artworks to tackle for me, theres no doubt about that! The wonder, beauty, intricacy, the challenge of doing them super well… its no surprise it appealed to me so much really, is it? Overdelivering again, i jumped right in to the challenge and in doing so, I learned so much about the life of bees, i met new people and found myself totally blown away at the sheer beauty and diversity of bees.

Drawing blue banded bee

Blue Banded Bees are amongst our most beautiful Australian native bees. They are about 11 mm long and have bands of metallic blue fur across their black abdomens. Blue Banded Bees are solitary bees. This means that each female bee mates and then builds a solitary nest by herself. She builds her nest in a shallow burrow in clay soil or sometimes in mudbricks. Many Blue Banded Bees may build their nest burrows in the same spot, close to one another, like neighbouring houses in a village. Blue Banded Bees can perform a special type of pollination called 'buzz pollination'. Some flowers hide their pollen inside tiny capsules. A Blue Banded Bee can grasp a flower of this type and shiver her flight muscles, causing the pollen to shoot out of the capsule. She can then collect the pollen for her nest and carry it from flower to flower, pollinating the flowers. Quite a few of our native Australian flowers require buzz pollination eg Hibbertia , Senna.

These bees will grab onto the flower, and shake their entire bodies rapidly, causing both the flower and its anthers to vibrate.
