| | | Miner bee ?
Small bee found on a sunchair the other day. Looks like a miner bee to me but I have not seen any of those about for a while now - around 7 or 8mm body length.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Brian V.

A Lasioglossum of some sort. |

This is probably something like L. calceatum. Whatever species, it is likely to be a mated, pre-hibernation gyne ("queen"), and therfore somewhat larger than most regular females. |
