On a walk last week I came across a couple of these Bees.
This is one of the earliest species to emerge and can be seen from late February. It is an important pollinator for early spring flowers. It can be found in central and southern England and in Wales.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
