| | | Orange bee for ID please
Hi all, can anybody help me with identifying this bee which was in my garden in Derby today? The photo's not very clear as I was in a hurry to get the pic before it flew away and it's not very easy to focus with the macro lens! It was probably just over a centimetre long and distinctly orange (the colour hasn't come out brilliantly in the pic either).
Thanks, Juliet  |

Evening Juliet,
It's a female Tawny Mining-bee, Andrena fulva.
Take care,
Jason |

I don't think I've ever seen one before. It was ever so pretty. I'm trying to make the garden bee-friendly so hopefully it is working | | |
