Mining bees, different species

Mining bees, different species

Mining bees, solitary bees which make their individual homes by excavating small holes in the ground (check places like lawns). There’s at least two species of miner bees here. The iNaturalist pattern-matching IDs them as a chocolate mining bee (Andrena scotica), a grey-patched mining bee (Andrena nitida), and as unspecified type of mining bee. All these IDs are unconfirmed.
