Question: What is your favourite bee

Mhm! A hard question.
Probably the hairy footed flower bee (Anthophora plumipes).

This species is one of the first solitary bees to emerge in spring and people often confuse them for small bumblebees, although their quick darting flight motion is a good way to tell them apart. Males and females look very different from each other. Although they are solitary bees (with no workers or social structure) they often nest in large groups, which can be quite noisy.
