Some bees in a Sussex garden this week

Lots of bee species flying now: a Garden Bumblebee queen above visiting fritillaries.
This is tricky to identify -- possibly a dark Common Carder Bee female Bombus pascuorum on rosemary.
 A honeybee.
 A Tree bumblebee worker pollinating black currants.
 This tiny little solitary bee might be a Common Mini-miner bee, Andrena minutula.


Another much larger solitary bee.



 Finally, it looks like a bee but it is a fly -- a beefly feeding a celandines.
