Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Cloak-And-Dagger Bee sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 349th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Cloak-And-Dagger Bee in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Himalayan Cloak-And-Dagger Bee sightings, Beijing ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Bangkok (Thailand, under 5%).
Same family: Apidae
The closest relatives of the Himalayan Cloak-And-Dagger Bee that you can see in Beijing (family Apidae, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Allies) are Asian Honey Bee (about 20%), Appendiculate Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Bronze-Winged Bamboo-Carpenter (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Himalayan Cloak-And-Dagger Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
