Ashy Mining Bee

[Loxley]

Andrena cineraria.

We're seeing a lot of these in the garden at the moment. This one is in the blossom of a young apple tree, I was amazed it stayed still long enough for me to get a picture. I've taken so many pics of flowers with a blurry line leaving it as the bee moves when I try to get the photo!

Lovely aren't they. I didn't realise the picture would enlarge so well!
