Hi folks! I have added a photo of a bee that we observed in May North of Inverness, diggin away in a sandy cliff near a dried out burn - I would be ver...
Hi Steph This looks like a rather tired specimen of Andrena barbilabris. I seem to remember Murdo finding this bee in that part of the Scotland too Best...
Hello friends, I found that one Hedychridium has been left unidentified here. This is clearly Hedychridium ardens but I can understand the confusion since...

Hi Stuart I'd agree with your first thought - I would say 'Bombus pratorum worker' too. Regards Matt Stuart <cipeen@...> wrote: Morning, could I ask...
