According to Ekelenkamp, it is not without reason that this bee was discovered at two forts in the region. “Relatively many species of animals and plants are found on forts. The biodiversity on forts is quite high, because there are many different habitats on forts. Also for insects.” The ramparts, walls, banks, sandy areas, forest edges and various places in or out of the sun mean that there is always something for many insects, says Ekelenkamp.
