Description

Population was briefly monitored over several weeks while conducting another pollinator study in the habitat. Oak pollen isn't considered nutritious in most literature, but must be useful to some degree. As the Quercus inopina pollen became available, there was stiff competition between females for the best catkins on the tree. Resources are limited at this site, which was xeric scrub.

I've been thinking Eucera [Synhalonia] rosae, but after looking at the AI's suggestions I'm going to have to go back to square one and think this through.

In spite of getting a lot of photos showing various details, I only managed one oblique shot of the face.

Help would be very much appreciated.

A male in the same tribe (same species?) was seen about 5 hours after this sighting in almost the same spot: see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197900166.

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.

Oh boy. OK, it's a bee. Ha.

The first thing that jumps out is the long, thick antennae. It doesn't appear to have bands of abdominal setae consistent with Lasioglossum or Halictus, and it's fuzzier in the thorax and face that most of those that I've seen. The smoothish abdomen and fuzzy front end almost suggests Andrena, but a close look at the face doesn't actually appear to show facial foveae; I know it's difficult to tell in some species and I could be wrong there.

But let's assume all of that is right (which is unlikely). Not a sweat bee, not Andrena, long antennae. It's not fluffy enough to be Melissodes and the eye is wrong. That would make it... Eucera?
