| 14-May-2019 Australia Native Bees Four Peel & Stick Stamps Wesley First Day Cover with Bee pictorial cachet and with four different stamps out of the 1,500 species of native bees in Australia - $1 Resin Bee (Megachile macleayi) builds its nest in narrow holes in timber, constructing the nest and sealing the entrance with gums and resins collected from leaves and plants $1 Solitary Wasp-mimic Bee (Hyleoides concinna) can most frequently be seen feeding from eucalypt flowers in eastern Australia, from southern Queensland to Tasmania. It convincingly disguises itself as a black and orange wasp in order to fool and deter predators $1 Green and Gold Nomia Bee (Lipotriches australica) is found throughout eastern Australia. This solitary bee nests in the ground. After looking for mates and foraging for nectar during the day, clusters of numerous male bees spend the night clinging or “roosting” together on tree twigs or grass stems $1 Neon Cuckoo Bee (Thyreus nitidulus) (striking, bright metallic blue) is so named because it opportunistically lays its eggs on the pollen balls inside the ground nests of the Blue-banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata). This solitary cleptoparasitic bee, which has no need to collect pollen from flowers, is found across eastern and northern Australia all tied Bee pictorial postmark Werribee Victoria
