Grey Mining Bee - Andrena cineraria
This is one of our most distinctive spring-flying solitary bees with striking black and grey/white markings. Belonging to the Andrena family of mining bees, female Ashy-mining bees excavate small tunnels in the earth to make their nests. They can occasionally be found nesting in large groups, but are also found in small groups or as single females.
