Is this a cuckoo bee? Photographed during may in southern england. was crawlig on the floor under tree cover near a running river. not many of them were about, but there were other different types of bee nearby 1.  nomada flava? and is this one a mining bee? it kept crawling out of holes on the ground shot in the same place as the above photo.

Below, it is an Andrena female, probabely A. haemorroha. Nomada is a parasit of Andrena, but I cannot say if both are host-parasit. Regards, Christian |
