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
