    I can imagine the difficulty, I was shocked that even in our tiny country there's over 300 species of bee. Worth it though, thanks for sharing! Posted 5 years ago

      Ha, would have been easier if there was only one of “each kind”. Of course that would take away all the fun!       Posted 5 years ago
