Very Nice Shot ...
... of a lovely little bee. Looks like a female Andrena. Hopefully, one of the experts here will be able to confirm or correct.

Yes, female Andrena
Great images! Dr. Ascher will probably be able to give you at least the subgenus.

Andrena
Thanks to both of you for the comments on the bee. With the dearth of insects in the winter up here in Wisconsin, I'm now going through old photos to see what I can send in. It's actually 38 out today -- a heat wave!
