Tips

December 20, 2023

Hiking

Nice for those who like a natural frame for a photo, but also a way to learn something about gray sand bees that often live in areas with sand dunes. They like sandy soils in heathland, sand pits and open woodland to make their nests in the ground. You only see them for a few months, but the cone-shaped sand piles tell you where they are. Source and more at natuurpunt.be/pagina/groei-zandbij There is also a beautiful wooden copy, offered by Natuur & Bos.

At the Gray Sand Bee you can make beautiful photo reports of drifting dune areas or spot sports planes.
