Bee - Andrena milwaukeensis - female

Bee - Andrena milwaukeensis - Female
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
June 6, 2008

Andrena (Andrena) female
i.e. genus and subgenus Andrena

this looks like A. milwaukeensis

Mining bee.
Female mining bee, genus Andrena. Have no idea on species, and most can't be ID'd from images anyway. Even specimens often require association with a flower.

 
specimens can be det. by morphology and/or DNA
but knowing the flower certainly can help

 
I am trying to remember the flower
I used to visit this place almost everyday and I remember this plant was near the High Bush cranberries, I will check the plants folder, give me a second.

EDIT: This IS the High Bush Cranberry, does this help with the species I.D.?
