bees for ID

[runnerwill]

Howdy folks,

Found lots of bees at the lodge (Sandy, Beds) yesterday and was hoping for a bit of help with some of them.

#1 A male Andrena I think, any way of being more specific than that?



#2 Behaved like an Anthophora plumipes so I'm assuming it's in the same genus but I couldn't find any info on the other species, sorry for the rubbish photo, wasn't staying still for long!


#3 A leaf-cutter bee, is there any way of separating them from photos?


Cheers

Will

1&2) male Andrena. Determination to species level not poss.
3) Certainly an Anthophora. Could be A. bimaculata or A. 4-maculata. Really need to see more and have a closer look
4) Female Megachile for sure.

Thanks Stuart,

I'll try to get better pics of the Anthophora if I see it again, is there any particular part I need to get a clear shot of?
