Can anyone help identify this UK bee? The picture was taken in June 2016.
Doesn't have to be exact, really just want to know if it's a honey bee or a solitary bee.
Thanks.
Answer
I am sure it’s not a honey bee – the eyes are different. It could be a solitary bee of the genus Colletes. According to Wikipedia, their nests
... are lined with a cellophane-like plastic secretion, a true polyester, earning them the nickname polyester bees.
