Description
Two bearded miner bees , mating . Also known as Heisandbie , Sandpit mining bee and Long-lipped andrena . One of the first species to come out every Spring . This was a very hot day , and the bees were swarming all over the sandy footpath . They don't seem to care that this is a very much used path , and not very camera-shy either .
