All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

MODERATORS
We had these super cute bees at my previous job.
Directly translated they'd be called "Ground Bees". I don't know what they are called in english. But they were adorable.
Small, dark orange and fuzzy.
Maybe something like Andrena?
You are correct! Andrena haemorrhoa it would seem.
Orange-tailed Mining Bee.
There are many different Andrena species though and identification is not always possible by photos only. But yeah, A. haemorrhoa is the most common one I've seen so far (in Germany) and it seems to be easier to ID as well (according to IDs made on my iNat observations)
Makes sense they'd be common here too, Denmark is literally the hat on top on Germany. XD
@Faydaikin Some kind of Mason Bee perhaps?
They live in the ground, so I don't think they go under mason bees. :/
