Erica Siegel of Queensland kindly contributed the following delightful photographs of masked bees to the Aussie Bee website:

This masked bee is an Australian native bee belonging to the family Colletidae. They are called masked bees because of the bold markings on their faces.

Most masked bees build solitary nests -- each female bee raises her young in her own nest burrow all by herself.
