The Red mason bee

''Osmia bicornis'', synonym ''Osmia rufa'', is a species of mason bee, and is known as the red mason bee due to its covering of dense gingery hair. It is a solitary bee that nests in holes or stems and is polylectic, meaning it forages pollen from various different flowering plants.
