Bees and Wasps  -  Andy Sands

Andy has been featured in National Geographic magazine in 2023 and is a member of The Photo Society as well.  This talk centres predominantly on solitary bees & wasps in the UK, their relationships with each other and their parasites etc.

We have an amazing array of species with fantastic life cycles that most people are completely unaware of and when Andy has given this talk in the past people have often come back to him to say how surprised and interested they were.  Andy has a particular interest in the macro photography of insects, particularly Bees and Wasps, and also Fungi & Slime Moulds and Woodland as well as Wading Birds; he specialises in British subjects and gives many talks on these subjects.
