Description: 2024 Ireland N Rate Stamp Minisheet Native Irish Bees Four N Rates This gorgeous miniature sheet features the Great Yellow Bumblebee, one of our most endangered bees. Bees are essential pollinating species. For 2024 series of beautiful honeycomb-shaped stamps celebrating four native bees were issued. The pretty Moss Carder Bee, depicted on a red clover, is blonde in colour. It generally inhabits flower rich coastal dunes and grasslands, bogs, and parkland, gathering moss to line its underground nest. As its habitats are shrinking, numbers are declining precipitously. The Irish Honey Bee has been central to bee-keeping for at least 2000 years. It has distinctive dark colouration, darkly-pigmented wings, and abundant thoracic hair. It is shown with a nectar-rich blackberry flower. The Patchwork Leafcutter Bee uses leaf pieces to create a thimble-like structure inside the nest. The female fills this with nectar and pollen, wherein she lays a single egg. The Wool Carder Bee, with distinctive yellow markings, was first sighted in Ireland in 2015. The female uses fibrous leaf-hairs to line her nest, while the males are fiercely territorial. Check Out My Other Listings For More Stamps And FDCs For Sale Thanks For Looking
