Yellow legged Mining Bee (Andrena flavipes)

I don't recall having seen this particular species in my gardens before, but over the last few days, there have been very many.

And what a cute little solitary (or not so solitary) bee it is too.

Just one of approximately 65 mining bee species in the UK.

Very sweet indeed, super documentation - looking particularly perky and puffy in the still image! Posted 4 years ago
