Langhoornbij route
This is a large (13 - 15 mm) rare species of bee. You can easily recognise the males by their extremely long antennae. They love nectar and pollen from butterfly flowers, such as bird vetch, hedge vetch, field lathyrus and woodland lathyrus. The bees dig their own holes in the ground for their nests. They like sociability, which is why they often live together in groups with conspecifics.
During this cycle route, you will set off along various orchards and along the way you can find many flowering plants in the right season. Can you hear and see the bees flying?
This route is offered by Struinen en Vorsen. For more information about the route and stories along the way, see their website here.
