year of research on bees. Józef BANASZAK was born on 19 March 1947 in Lednogóra near Gniezno, and even in childhood came to be fascinated by wildlife. His particular interest in insects was inspired by a book by Professor Jan KARPIŃSKI, entitled In the Land of Wonders of Jean Henri FABRE (in Polish: W krainie dziwów Jean Henri FABRE’a). Thanks to this book, he learned about the work of the 19 th -century naturalist, who was one of the first to study not only the biology but also the behaviour of insects. In secondary school, with an insect net made from an old curtain, Józef caught his first specimens: butterflies and beetles. He finished school in 1965 and entered the Faculty of Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. His interest in bees began in his first year, in the spring of 1966, after he read a short note on the digger bee, Anthophora plagiata (ILLIGER, 1806), which builds its nests in loess and clay escarpments as well as in clay buildings. The author, Zygmunt PNIEWSKI, noted that the species is very rare, but the young biologist, based on a photo illustrating the short note, discovered that the bee was nesting in a wall of his family house! This discovery of a new locality of A. plagiata and the opportunity to write his first publication about his discovery resulted in his later focus on bees instead of coleopterans, which he had earlier favoured. He then got in touch with the author of the short note, received from him his first entomological pins and an insect storage box, and learned the basics of insect preservation.
