Hi All


I saw this bee today and managed a couple of shot before it disappeared in the wind.


I thought it was Andrena fulva (Tawny Mining Bee) but I am leaning more towards Osmia bicornis.


Could someone take a look and let me know?


Yours


Gareth

I took a look there but I am concerned about variation.

I checked out Steven Falk's galleries and it would appear that it ia a female Andrena fulva (Tawny Mining Bee), though if anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to hear.

Yours, Gareth

Hello,

Andrena fulva female is correct. It's an unmistakeable species.
