Text on reverse of card reads:
Chequered cuckoo bees are very eye-catching with their pretty blue patches. Like cuckoo birds, the female cuckoo bee lays its eggs in the nests of other bees – in this case blue banded bees, and when the larva hatches it either eats the host larva, or its food provisions, or both.
