Interesting that it's male Andrena. I had quite a few Andrena's using the bee tubes, and some under/in the shed so thanks  It looked so slender compared to the ladies I thought it might be another genus/species

Sorry Matt, I've not got any Andrena on the bee tubes.  . But I do have a pic of Osmia rufa on the tubes to cheer you up
