SMALL GLASS DOME - Blue Bee

A magical blue bee (Xylocopa violacea) in a bell jar. This special bee is one of the largest bees in Europe. They mainly live in the central and southwestern part of this continent. What is remarkable about this species is their beautiful colour: black with an iridescent purple luster. Especially in the sunlight, the bee appears to be more purple than black.

This beautiful bee is particularly decorative and a real eye-catcher due to its beautiful colour.
