A recent lunchtime walk along the riverside path here at Bishopthorpe revealed some small unfamiliar mining bees. I got a couple of photos and with the help of Steven Falk's excellent book, I identified them as Sandpit Mining Bee. They were busy digging holes in the sandy footpath. Apparently it is one of our commenest mining bees, but it was a new one for me!
