I came across these bees on a dry grass bank and they seemed to be searching out the dry soil patches.They were approx 10-12 mm at a guess. Any ideas please .  |

Looks like a male Andrena sp. (mining bee).
Possibly Andrena haemorrhoa, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to say that with any certainty.

Well looking again, I don't think I'd even go as far as suggesting haemorrhoa, I could only really say Andrena sp.
Sorry  |
