ISolitary Bee > Hylaeus communis


Description: Hylaeus communis is a solitary bee which nests in dead trees, wooden fencing, logs and vertical sand banks. It is a very common and widely distributed species, often observed in suburban gardens. This one was pictured feeding on Asteraceae in my back garden in Wolverhampton, UK. Flight period is May to September.
