In my garden in the last few days I have seen a number of female Andrena fulva (picture) and hoverflies including Epistrophe eligans, as well as Bombus lucorum and B. lapidarius. Please submit your records for as many species as possible e.g. Species surveys and otherwise through our County Recorders. link
