Species text
This bee is widely distributed but uncommon throughout much of southern England and in south Wales (Edwards, 1998), which lists it as Nationally Notable (Nb). In Essex it is rare, with few records nearly all near the Thames. It has been recorded collecting pollen from Lotus, but it probably uses other flowers as well. The bee nests in dead stems, including bramble, rose and ragwort. References
