Description

A female bee, one of a number of bees exploring the remnants of a bonfire that had been lit (illegally) in the parking lot over night.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a shot of the face, which might have helped clear up my confusion.

The AI is suggesting Colletes, in particular C. thoracicus. But the seasonality does not work for that bee, and I'm not aware that it ever has the uniformly wide pale apical hairbands across all terga 1-5 that are evident on this bee.

Is Andrena a possiblity?

The AI also gave an honorable mention to Peponapsis pruinosa.

Whatever it turns out to be, it is a very striking bee. I hope someone recognizes it.
