| | | unidentified June bee
can anyone help with this bee. Its on white bryony but doesnt look like the Bryony bees i've seen before. It doesnt seem to have any red bands on the abdomen.
The photos were taken at the end of June in Surrey. (The image is two photos combined)
many thanks, Ashe  |

This is a female Andrena rather than a Colletes or a Megachile. As for species.... very difficult to tell (all the usual reasons). You are right though in suggesting this is not A. florea | | |
