Beginner Rare Bee ID Help

KAS · 13 Apr 2015

I met a man studying these and he told me their Latin name, he said they don't have a common name they are so rare but said they are nicknamed the Fur Bee. Anyone help with the Latin Name that I didn't write down.

Looks like a type of Mining Bee, but there are around 100 species in the UK. Where were these taken?

Hi Tim

They were taken in Dungeness, Kent.
