Leaf Cutting Bee

A great old etching of a Leaf-cutting or Taylor bee at work. These industrious bees carry the leaf pieces back to their homes and create cells in which they lay their eggs. A great rubber-stamping type of image for use with your next project where a picture of a bee is just what you need to turn it into a real honey.

This vintage drawing is from the 1873 book Our Common Insects by A.S. Packard, Jr. It is over 130 years old.
