Masonry Bee
Masonry Bee
Masonry bees are solitary bees so are not often found in large numbers. These bees will often return year on year to the same spot to make their nest so it can be difficult to tell if you have got rid of the bee or if they have moved at hibernation time.
These bees can appear to have a yellow underside but this is temporary and due to them collecting their nectar on their tummies and then depositing it all back in the nest. They do not have pollen sacks on their legs.
They can sting but tend to not do so unless squeezed my fingers!
