Nearby, there are houses with garden banks abutting the road. Yesterday, 3 of them were buzzing with dozens of mining bees. Mostly Yellow-legged Mining Bees, but good numbers of Cliff Mining Bees. Best of all was seeing the crowd of Black Oil Beetles.

Cliff Mining Bee, Andrena thoracica, spotted on our walk yesterday. It didn't linger at any flower long enough for me to focus on on, and I didn't have time to try and get better footage as I had to keep up with the others.

A large brown bee is hanging off the end of a cluster of tiny cream blossoms. She has reddish blonde fur on her body and on the top of her head that is catching the sunlight, and auburn coloured wings.

A small bee, filling the photo frame as it rests on a large reed leaf. She is sitting with her wings algined along her body, with a yellow mark on the side of her abdomen just visible. She's mainly dark coloured, with some light fur on her thorax beneath the wing roots. Her antennae have a red band near the base, and yellow tips.
A new #solitarybee for me today. A ♀️ Fabricius' Nomad #bee! Exciting, as it's a new observation in the garden but also as the #miningbees that it relies on for its lifecycle are also species I've not seen before. Will keep 'em peeled! #wildlifefrommywindow #gardenwildlife #invertebrates #invert

On a local walk, there are a couple of houses fronted by earthy banks which are home to mining bees. They’re currently buzzing with Andrena flavipes, hosts to the Painted Nomad Bee, Nomada fucata. I fear we have bee-bank envy.
