Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black Masked Bee sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 219th most-seen of the 521 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Masked Bee in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 60 mm in February.
Only Munich, in our data
Munich is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black Masked Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Masked Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (13 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.
