The Halictidae is the second largest family of Apoidea bees. Halictid species occur all over the world and are usually dark-colored and often metallic in appearance. Several species are all or partly green and a few are red; a number of them have yellow markings, especially the males, which commonly possess yellow faces, a pattern widespread among the various families of bees.

This is not intended to be a dry lexicon. Personal stories and sensitive articles form the framework for our pictures: „Franz and his mission for insects: Why are solar panels attracting insects?“
Solar installations on former farmland can significantly increase the insect population and biodiversity in just a few years. A side effect and a win-win situation.
