No, it isn't A. carantonica, I know that one and I do have it but the leg hairs are different, and it has black tail hairs, this doesn't.
It's spot on for A. praecox, check the pic on BWARS, those hanging hairs from the hind femora, all fits. Back to Gallery

Really? To my eyes they look strikingly like the BWARS images of carantonica.
Why don't you collect a specimen and send it to someone at BWARS for confirmation? |

How about the original version of your reply as you must have edited it very quickly Tristan! I have no qualms about showing your true colours. Quote:

Why don't you collect a specimen and send it to someone at BWARS instead of posting photos on here and suggesting unlikely IDs almost at random?
| When I get around to it later I will show you the tail, proving there is no black hairs.

Rumbled, my true colours for all to see  I think they've been seen before!
There is little point going over old ground Janet. You know how hard it is to confirm bee IDs from photos. I shall not be providing you with any more suggestions and shall leave it to someone more expert. | | |
