Identifying a bee!

[Chris Ibbo]

Hi everyone, I keep seeing a small black bee with whitish hair and would love to know what species it is. I'm doing this post from my phone so I can't put the pics on but if you message me on 07735408771 I will send you the two pics I managed to get of it. Thanks everyone

[Chris Ibbo]

Lol

Yeah now that you guys have pointed that out it does sound dodgy lol. I'm doing all this off my phone so I'm limited for what I can do but I assure you I'm genuine. I promise you won't ever recieve any texts about how you've won the Nigerian lottery and all I need is your bank details lmfao

Looks depressed to me...
Seriously though, unidentifiable from that.

decent picture size if you click on it - shame it's in the unidentified section of that site.

Good luck, looks like an evil bee lol

 

[ratcatcher]

good to see your post count has allowed picture posting, I am upset though as Id hope you were a nigerian prince unable to gain your inheritance without my help and bank details, I had already looked through the th***** catologue and picked out quite a few items to buy with my commission


I love the fact your bee picture is in the unidentified bee section of another forum

When you click on the image you can just about make out 2 ocelli on top of its head between the compound eyes. Whether the third is hidden from view or it doesn't have a third you can't quite make out.

Interesting it has white hairs but a totally black body

Ashy mining bee, Andrena cineraria?

It's a normal bee covered in soot to confuse the unwary ....(as in ghost bees)
