Signs of Spring: the return of the hairy footed flower bees

One of the insects I look for as soon as the flowers begin to bloom is the lovely little hairy footed flower bees.

In a garden on the Ladder I spent time watching a female, the only all black bee, and the ginger coloured male enjoying rosemary and primula plants.

Thank you everyone who plants a few flowers in their front garden from the bees and from me!

We get loads of bee flys. Apparently, its quite unusual.

I love a bee fly. Still waiting to see my first one of the year!

Thank you Liz for the helpful i/d. I saw one of these in our garden a week or so ago, and wondered what kind of bee it was
