I always seem to encounter some new creature when outdoors. This time I met a bunch of hairy bees that were busy digging their holes!

I wish there was more information on this relatively unstudied species.

ARE YOU TRYING TO IDENTIFY YOUR DIGGER BEE?

Try posting a picture of your bee on iNaturalist or try the ID guides at https://www.discoverlife.org/

This link is a direct link to the ID key for female Anthophora (the genus of this digger bee) : https://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide=Anthophora_female

This is a direct link to the ID key for male Anthophora : https://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide=Anthophora_male

I hope that helps you out. Cheers! -K
