There's some info at
BeeFly
I notice that there is a BAP for
Bombylius minor but
B. major is quite common, if local. Since they're parasites they are never going to make huge population numbers (unless their hosts make even biiger numbers!
)
You'll need to look in fairly natural grass and scrub land ...
